Postdoc position in my group in Tokyo!
Please get in touch if you are interested.
And happy to discuss projects - ranging from developing new methods to analysis of new genomes that we are now sequencing in the lab.

I'm beyond excited to share our new paper in Nature! We sequenced the first ancient human autosomal genomes from the Central Sahara, two ~7,000-year-old individuals from Takarkori in Libya, revealing a long-isolated North African lineage: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Latest in #GENETICS, @YileiHuang317, @ShaiCarmi, and @HaraldRingbauer developed a new tool, TTNE, that uses identity-by-descent tracts in large ancient DNA time-series for inferring effective population size trajectories.

Our latest interdisciplinary study reveals the story of East Asia meeting Europe in Lower Austria during 6th-9th centuries & their Peaceful coexistence (shared cultural feature) despite genetic difference! We reconstruct the past family pedigree inc. >450 individuals (a society!)
