In our study published today in @ScienceMagazine, we provide a proof of concept for the potential use of ancient microbes as a source for developing new drugs by synthesising previously unknown metabolites from reconstructed gene clusters. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

I'm happy to share a new preprint with Sandrine Gallois @AmandaGHenry @ra_stah @twarinner on dental plaque microbiomes of Baka and Nzime individuals, two groups in Cameroon with low market economy integration. We found that 1/5 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

of uncharacterized species diversity in Baka and Nzime plaque and US/European plaque. It seems that dental plaque microbial composition is shaped and constrained by different forces than those affecting the gut microbiome 4/5

and differences observed at one body site cannot be generalized as changes across the human microbiome 5/5

Curious about the kinds of biomedical questions that can be addressed with ancient dental calculus? How much does it reflect oral health? Check out our new preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/6 #microbiome #aDNA

despite substantial dietary changes between the 2 periods. If we don't find broad community changes reflecting evolutionary adaptations in ancient dental calculus, how can we still use it to study microbiome evolution? 5/6

Looks like we'll have to focus in on specific species, and find the evolutionary adaptations bacteria are bundling into their genomes 6/6

🎄 Christmas has come a little early for SPAAM! 🎁 We are happy to share the second paper from the SPAAM community! "Ancient Metagenomic Studies: Considerations for the wider scientific community" journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… A short 🧵 about how and what it is about! [1/9]

Ancient Metagenomic Studies: Considerations for the Wider Scientific Community | mSystems

Like modern metagenomics, ancient metagenomics is a highly data-rich discipline, with the added challenge that the DNA of interest is degraded and, depending on the sample type, in low abundance....

Are you curious about #archaeogenetics, #aDNA, or more generally our shared human past? Then we highly advise you to watch our #archaeogenetics Keynote Lecture, presented by Prof. Dr. @twarinner. You can find this brilliant lecture on @Youtube! Link: youtu.be/1jXihrcRpvA
