Excited to share our new preprint on time-lagged F2-statistics, which informs about migration rates from ancient DNA data. Find a preprint here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.12.710875v1
The work was driven by Giulio Isacchini and Oskar […]

CORDIS wrote a nice article about my ERC project MICROSCOPE which has ended October 2025: https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/464133-ancient-dna-unveils-new-insights-into-life-during-iron-age-europe?WT.mc_id=exp

Finally a citeable publication on Pileupcaller! Thanks to @joss for a transparent review and publishing process! A nice experience, all through github!
Finally, we also updated the long-form documentation on the website, both for the schema and the software tools: https://www.poseidon-adna.org. Let us know if you encounter any inconsistencies or dead links there.
If you would like to keep updated about Poseidon then feel free to follow […]
On my way to Vienna (with punctual trains!) to visit University of Vienna. I will give a talk in the Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences seminar (HEAS) series tomorrow. https://www.heas.at/events/heas-seminar-series-ancient-genomics-31-2/

After many months of work I'm happy to announce the release of Poseidon v3.0.0 (https://github.com/poseidon-framework/poseidon-schema/blob/master/poseidon_package_specification.pdf). This is a new schema release that comes with a number of changes in the Poseidon package data structure. Among […]
A few weeks ago I gave a talk at the HEAS seminar series at the @univienna A YouTube video of that talk is now online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GLVPqwCMXs

The #ERC increases resubmission restrictions for unsuccessful applicants to ERC grants. If I read this correctly, in the worst case one has to now wait 3 years (C-rank in the 2024 call means a ban for the 2025, 26 and 27 calls, with resubmission allowed for the 28 call). With a B-Rank, ban is […]

Along with the new schema we're also releasing updated versions of qjanno, the janno R package, and, most importantly, trident. Adjusting trident for Poseidon v3 while maintaining support for older schema versions was a big task and required a good amount of rewiring under the hood. Read more […]
