All started in 2014 when the most visionary palaeogenomicist Tom Gilbert wrote an @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant @Globe_UCPH to fund exploratory experiments into trying to retrieve long DNA fragments from extinct sp. to assemble for the 1st time ancient genomes 🧬 👏 👏 to him.

In this 9-year long project, we=@jrotwitguez @cynthi_PE @odudcha the-truly-extraordinary-but-not-on-twitter-TomGilbert @erezaterez and @mamartirenom together with 49collaborators- found (non-mineralized) fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin and assemble the 🦣 genome🧬 !!!.

Between the early 16th and late 19th centuries, an estimated 12 million Africans were transported to the Americas as part of the transatlantic slave trade. Following Britain’s abolition of slave...
