In this comment piece with @jfy133 and @twarinner, we highlight the mounting problems with data archiving and metadata reporting in ancient DNA research. The field cannot afford to keep neglecting this issue. https://t.co/gFm0GvtlPB

This is now published in Scientific Data: https://t.co/7aY7NMqdcE. The survey is expanded to 42 studies, and the paper now includes a Box 1: "Step-by-step best practices for archiving ancient genomics data in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA)." I hope this will prove useful!

Scientific Data - Improving data archiving practices in ancient genomics
In this preprint, I survey data archiving in ancient genomics—I find widespread shortcomings, which hinder reproducibility and data reuse. I argue that we need to step up our collective archiving game in #aDNA genomics, with six practical recommendations: https://t.co/RnWorbMBT0

Important findings on artifacts in PSMC curves arising from time segmentation/windowing choices, and advice on how to avoid these.
Avoidable false PSMC population size peaks occur across numerous studies https://t.co/10qARUJePY

The ancIBD tool is becoming the killer app for Identity by Descent (IBD) detection in ancient genomes—check out the paper and Harald's thread below. I also wrote a short News & Views piece on the paper:
https://t.co/iWWp7WXVXh ancIBD is published now! 🧬💀 Our tool brings accurate IBD detection to aDNA. We show that this unlocks the detection of up to sixth-degree relatives in aDNA, and reveals new links between ancient cultures. A short summary ⬇️ (1/5)

Great accessible write-up for younger audiences of our wolf paper from last year. From @SJforKids, with myself and Dave Stanton @Nibbledtodeath
Recently, an 18,000 year old preserved canine puppy, named Dogor, was found. Scientists at @TheCrick wanted to learn more about wolf domestication and the evolution of modern-day dogs, with the help of Dogor! Learn more in our new adapted article: https://t.co/3t5aXCioYA

Plague in Britain 4000 years ago: the Yersinia pestis strains that caused plague in Bronze Age continental Europe and Asia had also spread across the English Channel. Great work led by @TheCrick PhD student @Pooja_Swali
Old plague alert! Excited to share our new paper on a 4000-year-old Yersinia pestis genome from Britain! 🧬💀🦠 https://t.co/T5eDioF6W3
