Carli presentation.

Last couple of weeks, our MATRIX team members have been busy sharing results with peers!
Sofia Kouki presented her research at the ICAYR PhD symposium and Carli Peters, talked about her experiments with protein survival in burned bones at the Archaeological Proteomics Laboratory (Uni. of Reading).

This is the most sensible assertion I have seen on Bsky all day.

Meet our keynote speakers 💁‍♂️

Key findings:
🔹SPPV has threatened Eurasian food security for nearly 4 millennia.
🔹Major lineages diverged ~11,500–3,700 years ago, coinciding with sheep domestication.

In a scientific first, they successfully retrieved #pathogen genomes from medieval #parchment and paper #manuscripts 📖 - revealing that historical documents are an under-recognised source of ancient #disease data. (3/4)

The team recovered 21 novel ancient sheeppox virus (SPPV) genomes, dating back as far as ~3,700 years to the #Bronze Age. These are currently the oldest Poxviridae genomes ever recovered. (2/4)
