#palaeoproteomics #SMBE2026

🚨ONLINE WORKSHOP🚨
We will be hosting a free online workshop “Maximising Data from Palaeolithic Bone" as part of the the COEXIST project on 10th March 2026. Please submit abstract by 23rd January 2026. Further information in the flyer. See you there!

The @paastacommunity.bsky.social is organizing a virtual school. If you are working or wanna work on palaeoproteomics, this is your opportunity to provide some feedback on the topics you would like to learn/teach. Info 👇

The call for abstracts for #SMBE2026 is now open.
If you are working on palaeoproteomics, we've got you covered!
We are having a symposium dedicated to it! (L01)
So, send your abstracts and remember, you can also apply for an award to attend the meeting.

Today I officially started as a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow with @welkergroup.bsky.social. I will be working on cool stuff in palaeoproteomics of hominins, mainly on bioinformatic analysis. Looking forward to the journey ahead 😌

Are you interested in human evolution? Would you like to work in palaeoproteomics 👩🏻‍🔬 and live in Copenhagen 🇩🇰🚴🏽‍♀️? So, apply to these advertised positions. More info 👇

The preprint of the second high coverage genome from a Denisovan is out. Looking forward to the genomic data 🤩

Check this out! Ancient S. enterica from colonial Mexico from a non-epidemic context 🧬🧫
Lead by @mbravolo.bsky.social, congratulations !

Recuerdo con emoción los viajes de muestreo y la impresión de ver por primera vez la inmensidad de la colección del INAH en Santa Lucía 🤩🦣. Es un verdadero privilegio haber sido parte del proyecto. Felicidades a todo el equipo! Se rifaron! 🫰🏽

Mammoths’ genomes from Mexico? 🦣🇲🇽🧬 Yes! And you can find the full story here 🤩-> shorturl.at/xjIvy Congrats to all the authors!

We have arrived in Turin for @isba11.bsky.social and are very excited for the week! Don't miss the following talks and posters from the Welker Group:

Ready for #ISBA11 meeting. Starting with the pre-conference #PAASTA 🤩 and the welcoming. It’s already being great to connect with peers from Huerta-Sánchez lab @lindaongaro.bsky.social @marcocapo.bsky.social and more (not all in this network). And remember to visit me at my poster No.254 on Friday.

The MUC19 gene: An evolutionary history of recurrent introgression and natural selection We study the gene MUC19, for which some modern humans carry a Denisovan-like haplotype. MUC19 is a mucin, a glycoprotein that forms gels with various biological functions. We find diagnostic variants ...

Our paper on the evolution of MUC19 in humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans is finally out today in Science!

This has been a six-year effort by 13 authors to weave together 3 separate but related evolutionary stories around this one gene (more on thread 🧵).

My poster presentation, thanks to the photographers team #SMBE2025

See you in Copenhagen next year, #SMBE2026 🚴🏽‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🇩🇰🎉

Glad to see my former colleagues #mexas 🇲🇽 in #SMBE2025

#SMBE2025 China was great. Last keynote by Qiaomei Fu closed with a final flourish.

Watch this out 🤩
I am glad to have contributed to this piece #palaeoproteomics
Thanks @zandraselina.bsky.social and @fridowelker.bsky.social for the trust, and congratulations to all the co-authors
