Humans are the only bipedal great apes, due to the evolution of our unique skeletal form. What genomic regions underlie such change? Our cover article in @sciencemagazine led by @EucharistKun and in collab. with @tarjs is now out!

Huge congratulations to Adam Klivans, for renewing the NSF Institute for the Foundations of Machine Learning at UT Austin with intent to expand generative AI to protein engineering and clinical imaging.

Listening to RD talk about early days of genome sequencing is still amazing! .

Our new paper on ancient DNA to address the spread of Uralic languages now out in @nature (we started working on this in 2018). Many interesting results, including a sample from ~16k years ago Yakutia that can be modeled as an unadmixed Native American.

Based on the new DNA evidence now from Harbin, as well as Xiahe, it's now almost certain that the samples in the yellow box are all Denisovan. It's very exciting that we finally get to study the morphology of these samples in light of their relationship to us and Neanderthals.

Incredible! Dragon man is a Denisovan. Major congratulations Qiaomei Fu.

Whenever I'm feeling a little out of it scientifically or think I need huge sample sizes to say anything meaningful, I often re-read Green et al, Science, 2010. It's a truly otherworldly paper and of course duly won the Nobel Prize. The supplement is just🔥
