NEOMATRIX
A team of researchers which includes members of the NEOMATRIX network developed a fully automated ancient metagenomics pipeline. This promising method will address some important challenges in the…
Researchers from Institut Jacques Monod, including our esteemed colleagues within the NEOMATRIX network, analyzed new genomes together with published ones in their latest study. It allowed them to…
In their latest study, our researchers produced 35 ancient genomes from Anatolia, Greece, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran ranging from ~7,350 BCE to 200 CE. They found that genetic…
Ancient DNA from pre-pottery Neolithic people gives new genetic insights into Mesopotamian culture in the latest paper by our researchers. It suggests that Upper Mesopotamia’s cultural dynamism during…
Our researchers described the genetic identity of the oldest human-made hybrid animal called “kunga”, a 4,500-year-old equid which was bred for warfare in ancient Mesopotamia. The study concludes…
Our researchers led a successful analysis of ancient DNA from petrous bones of this extinct Mediterranean species despite the region’s notoriously adverse environmental conditions for DNA preservation. Their…
The latest article by our researchers suggests that sheep were domesticated in different areas, along with the first sheep domesticated in Anatolia ten thousand years ago. The article…
The latest article by our researchers shows that inbreeding decreased over time and that the decrease appears linked with population size increase enabled by agriculture. The article is…
The newest article by our researchers questions genetic relatedness among co-burials in domestic buildings using 59 ancient genomes from Neolithic Anatolia. The results suggest non-biological kinship patterns in…
The second article in 2021 by our researchers shows that the Columbian mammoth that inhabited North America during the last ice age was a hybrid between the woolly…
