Ozgur Taskent led this elegant study on the history of Neanderthal introgressions into the human gene pool. We added to the growing lines of evidence that our ancestors have met multiple Neanderthal populations, interacted with

I wrote aย new review paperย for the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology. It summarizes some the recent insights from the genomes of archaic humans (e.g., Neanderthals, Denisovans, etc.) within an anthropological framework. Specifically, I tried to answer

A very nice study of the proteins in our saliva as compared to our primate cousins came out @MBE – The study is led by our long time collaborator Stefan Ruhl’s group. Our results are
A new review paper by the mighty @marie_saitou on the difficulties and promises in integrating evolutionary framework and investigation of genomic structural variants. We talk a lot about how structural variants of different types likely
Folks at RSG-Turkey invited me to give a talk about Evolutionary/Population Genomics – I talked about recent work in our laboratory – of course with a focus on structural variants. ๐ Also – the new

We have reported a computational method to detect the haplotypes harboring polymorphic gene duplications in the human genome variation dataset. This study is now published in Genome Biology and Evolution. The maestro (is it maestra?),
