Very excited to share our study of an ancient environmental genome extracted from lake sediment! It originates from a brown bear that lived around 9,600 years ago close to the last ice-sheet remains in northern Sweden, and has an unexpected mitochondrial haplogroup. 1/7 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Oh, the excitement of opening up the chamber of a Russian corer! This particular beauty was collected the other week with first-year students from ~7.5m below the peat surface, near Hässleholm, southern Sweden. A really nice example and perfect for discussing the late glacial-holocene transition! ❄️🌞
We're thrilled to announce that the FIRST International Conference on Palaeogenomics will happen in Stockholm, Sweden, June 23-26 2026!
