Two separate human betaherpesviruses integrated into human germline DNA before the 14th century, new research finds. scim.ag/4q3KlzA
Our paper on the first ancient Human betaherpesvirus 6 A/B (HHV-6) genomes is published in Science Advances! 🥳
In collaboration with @DrCJ_Houldcroft @LucyvanDorp @LehtiSaag @ktambets and other amazing researchers!

Discover our results of the largest ancient DNA study ever conducted on a single burial site 🧬: 400 skeletons from the Belgian city Sint-Truiden (8th–18th century). A unique glimpse into 1000 years of genetic history. (1/9) @CHG_CME @KU_Leuven

Truly excited and grateful to recieve one @ERC_Research StG. A carrear dream that comes true. Very soon I will be announcing positions at @univienna :)
Drei @ERC_Research Starting Grants gehen an die Universität Wien: Neurowissenschafterin @isabellawagnr, Biologe @peregx9 und Naturgefahrenforscher @oeztuerk_ugur erhalten je einen Starting Grant, der mit jeweils rund 1,5 Millionen Euro dotiert ist! 🤩🎉

Our new preprint is out 🚨
"2500 Years of Human Betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B Evolution Revealed by Ancient DNA".
🦴Featuring samples from the medieval graveyard of Sint-Truiden!
👏Great work by @Meriam_MG and colleagues!

Two more human herpesviruses the ancient DNA club - HHV-6A and 6B. These viruses integrate into the telomeres (caps on the end of chromosomes) and a small % of people carry these viruses in EVERY nucleated cell in their body and can pass them on to their offspring.
I am incredibly happy to share our preprint on the first 11 ancient Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A &B) genomes! This was a work done in collaboration with many amazing colleagues! Special shout out to @LucyvanDorp, @DrCJ_Houldcroft and @LehtiSaag! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
