Million-year barrier = broken.

We report the oldest ever ancient DNA, sequenced from mammoth teeth preserved in Siberian permafrost.

The latest from my group on making chromosome-scale assemblies using tiny samples.

With fabulous coauthors @ChrisVollmers and @ed_green_72

Interesting paper and cool application of our mtDNA mixture tool:

#DecipheringTheDenisovans On March 28, 8am EDT, we'll live-stream 11 amazing talks from the @PhysAnth symposium 'Deciphering the Denisovans' co-organized by Dr. serena tucci and I. Follow the FB link below for more info and to watch the talks next Thursday. facebook.com/events/4743010…

New to #metabarcoding of ancient DNA? Check out our example protocol and handy tips.

For the more familiar, we include a list of primer sets suitable for #aDNA metabarcoding.

Thanks to @ruthvnichols, Emily Curd, and Beth Shapiro for the collaboration!

Small people are the best people. Oh, and no solution yet as to who the “hobbits” were or where they came from, but we will all keep trying..... Nice work, @ed_green_72, Josh Akey, and team!

A new study offers a tantalizing hint to the life and death of the enigmatic and short-statured hominins known as Homo floresiensis. on.natgeo.com/2LO6XFi

New genetic study suggests modern Flores Island pygmies and ancient 'hobbits' are unrelated smithmag.co/CNl5sU

A search for “hobbit” DNA in living Indonesians ends in failure—but raises the question of why people have repeatedly evolved pygmy bodies. Here’s my story for The New York Times nytimes.com/2018/08/02/sci…
