Main Focus
Reconstructing pre-historic ancient human genomes to investigate:
*
population genetic structure and ancestries
* the
presence of gene flow between geographically distant groups to examine
archaeology-driven hypotheses for cultural and technological connections
*
genetic sex-biased admixture patterns and migration
* kinship relations
Current
projects
* Late Stone Age Iberomaurusian hunter-gatherers from North Africa
* In-solution capture probe design to screen human remains for DNA preservation
