The @scilifelab.se ancient DNA unit is looking for an bioinformatician placed at Uppsala University. This is a great way to be part of diverse #aDNA research projects as a staff scientist with permanent (!!) employment:

Come get your PhD with me, and at @stockholm-uni.bsky.social and @scilifelab.se ! :)
Thrilled to see this in print! CarpeDeam is the first assembler built specifically for ancient metagenomics, as it specifically models aDNA damage. We also introduce "RYmers" (i.e., k-mers but robust to damage). Amazing work by Louis Kraft et al.!

A reminder to SAMtools / HTSlib users, from the next release (probably April 2025) CRAM 3.1 will be the default version used. Use "samtools view -O cram,version=3.0" to switch back to the current 3.0.
(But note 3.1 should be smaller and faster, especially on Illumina.)

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.
