Straight-tusked #elephants once roamed across #Eurasia, but one lineage became stranded in Japan?! 🐘🧬 Ancient #mtDNA reveals Palaeoloxodon naumanni as an early-diverging lineage that survived in island isolation.

We have officially launched our new lab website. 🥳
The site includes the automated literature curation on #mtDNA quality control and copy number regulation, which will appear on Mondays and Thursdays. Listen to the latest #NotebookLM generated podcast.
🧬 Explore the new site: osman-lab.de
This review highlights #mtDNA leakage as a driver of #CellularSenescence and the SASP, activating cGAS–STING, #TLR9, and #NLRP3, while exploring strategies to block release or downstream sensing to combat #AgingRelatedDiseases.

MBE | Mammalian mitochondrial DNA accumulates insertions and deletions with age in energetically demanding tissues
@edmundotogo.bsky.social et al. studied de novo indel mtDNA mutations across multiple age groups in three mammalian species, showing that indels accumulate rapidly with age in somatic tissues with high energetic demand or high proliferation.

Promotional image announcing the upcoming deadline for the Early Bird rate for EUROMIT 2026. At the top, the text reads “Take advantage before February 17, 2026!”. In the center, two tilted green shapes display the words “Early Bird” and “Rate”. The background features green, mitochondria‑like patterns on a black backdrop. At the bottom, a green band contains the text “EUROMIT 2026
Only a few days left to get the Early Bird rate!

GBE | From Rigid Order to Radical Variation: Mitogenome Evolution in the Main Lineages of a Lesser-Known Animal Phylum (Gastrotricha)
Kosakyan et al. sequenced mitogenomes of species from the two main lineages of the Gastrotricha; they found stable mitogenomes in the mostly freshwater Chaetonotida, but a dynamic pattern in the the marine Macrodasyida.

We integrate #ddRAD, #lcWGS and #mtDNA datasets. lcWGS and ddRAD approaches yield similar overall results for population genetic structure; however the two approaches differ in estimates of the magnitude of population genetic differentiation.
