Thanks @genomebiolevol.bsky.social for collating some of the media articles about our recent study!

Researchers recover a woolly rhino genome from inside a frozen wolf's stomach The work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ancient animal.

Such a fun project to be part of! 🦏🧬

New paper led by the awesome @alexgilardet.bsky.social and Jonas is out!

Genomic evidence for the Holocene codispersal of dogs and humans across Eastern Eurasia As the first domestic species, dogs likely dispersed with different cultural groups during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed 73 ancient dog genomes, including 17 ...

🚨 New paper alert 🚨

Our research, published today in Science, reveals remarkable concordance between human and dog genomes through time, highlighting how deeply intertwined our evolutionary histories have been over the past 11,000 years.

Researchers at @cpgsthlm.bsky.social have uncovered evolutionary history of Norwegian lemming, revealing it to be one of the most recently evolved mammal species. Results published in @pnas.org reveal that Norwegian lemming split from its closest relative 35,000 years ago

Thanks for covering our new paper @iflscience.com

Omg thats such a cute photo! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for helping us out with this @andre2099.bsky.social!!

Huge thanks to everyone involved in the study, especially those at @cpgsthlm.bsky.social! 👏

We also identified mutations that might be associated with the Norwegian lemming's coat colour and overwintering behaviour. Finally, given the deep divergence between the Western and Eastern Siberian lemmings, we suggest that Eastern Siberian lemmings should be regarded as Lemmus paulus.

Using modern and ancient genomes, we show that the Norwegian lemming diverged very recently - only around 34 thousand years ago! Following this divergence, we didn't find any signal of gene flow between the Norwegian lemming and its closest relative, the Western Siberian lemming.

I'm super excited to share our new paper on Norwegian lemming genomics just published in @pnas.org!! Read the paper here: www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
