Recommended! Academics often receive no training in reviewing. Here you can and also even as a very junior researcher, you can get reviewing experience in a top journal. I am very glad to have participated in this program in the past!

First preprint from our group, co-led by Niraj Rai with critical contributions from co-authors from India & the US. It's been an absolute pleasure working with this team and considering sustainable and thoughtful ways of engaging with genetic & oral histories in Southwest India.

Happy that this paper can be now seen by others and that it is getting interest already! It has been a very, very long process to get here! Some results date back to my PhD (!) and over the years we have tried to integrate archaelogical info while having fun with new methods.

Happy to see this out! Emphasis on quality of the data, methods and inferences, glad to have contributed to this original work! Congrats to the lead authors NinaMarchi, Laura Winkelbach, Ilektra Schulz Ilektra Schulz, Maxime Brami, Daniel Wegmann, @loronet and Joachim Burger!

So happy that the first paper from our ERC SyG HistoGenes project is up! We find striking similarity of elite Avar genomic data to Northeast Asia: the historical mystery of Avar origin may be less mysterious now. Great work of Guido from our lab and many others! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
