Excited to share our new paper in Communications Biology!
We generated >1000 new complete mitochondrial genomes from understudied regions in sub-Saharan Africa, providing an updated overview of maternal genetic diversity and demographic history across the continent.

The oldest DNA retrieved from an animal fossil is ~1.6 million years old - a mammoth from icy Siberia where cold temperatures preserve DNA well. But have you ever wondered how long #ancientDNA is preserved in animal remains from sunny & warm Africa? Well, wonder now more! doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...
🧬 New paper in Cell!
Analysis of 12 cave lion genomes shows that cave lions and modern lions may have diverged more than three times earlier than previously thought – as early as 1.7 million years ago!
AND…they interbred when temperatures dropped!
