Have you ever wondered how many archaic populations contributed DNA to modern humans? We know about Neanderthals and Denisovans, but the fossil and genetic evidence suggests a much more complex history!

Example ChASM Analysis Using Example Data

Want to check your ancient DNA study for chromosomal aneuploidies? RChASM is now available for R, to screen for autosomal and sex chromosomal aneuploidies, such as Down syndrome on data from 0.0014X coverage.

We also wrote a step-by-step tutorial with examples:

We are seeking two students: One would develop computational methods for the analysis of ancient DNA from sediments, and apply these tools to novel datasets. The second would generate and analyze aDNA data from archaeological sediments at a number of Holocene sites.

Vienna Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution The Vienna Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution is dedicated to educating students to advance our understanding of the ecology and evolution of extant and ancestral organisms, populations, and communities. In Ecology, the focus is on uncovering the mechanistic and evolutionary drivers of patterns and processes across biological scales, from gene regulation to ecosystem structure and function, including the role of communities in biogeochemical cycles and their adaptive responses to environmental change. In Evolution, we investigate the processes shaping changes in organization and dynamics of organisms, populations, and species at molecular, developmental, morphological, and physiological levels.

Are you interested in human DNA from ancient sediments? Do you want to do a PhD in Vienna? We have two open positions in our group! You can learn more and apply here (scroll down to the very bottom, ours are the last two listings): careers.univie.ac.at/en/praedoc/s...

When someone believes in you How the ARTEMIS mentoring programme connects African students and doctoral researchers with scientists of the Max Planck Society — and why mentoring means more than just offering professional advice

Being part of the ARTEMIS program last year was an amazing experience. If you are a scientist in a MPI, check out the new call! www.mpg.de/26122924/art... I am also very happy to see that the Bridging Minds Program will continue :) @maxplanck.de
