Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on our recent paper about DNA methylation patterns in non-skeletal
tissues of ancient samples [Mathov et al., Nature Ecology &
Evolution, 2024].
Nov-2024
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the sequencing of DNA from victims of the Pompeii eruption.
These genomes refute some of the common neratives of how the different
individuals are related to each other.
Nov-2024
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the genetic mapping of a 1,000 years time transect on the Balkan
during the Roman empire. Remarkably, Romans did not have a great impact on
the genetics of these people.
Dec-2023
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the sequencing of RNA from tasmanian tiger, the first time such
a feat is done on an extinct creature. And what are the implications of
this on the prospects of de-extincting animals.
Sep-2023
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on what happened to European populations following the last
glacial maximum.
Mar-2023
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on migration events that shaped the Scandinavian population throughout
history, and in particular during the Viking period.
Jan-2023
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the study that used deep learning to identify ghost populations
that have introgressed with modern huamns.Turns out that the model that best
explains observed data is an introgression with a population that is an
admixture of Neanderthals and Denisovans.
Dec-2022
Liran was
interviewed in Galei Zahal on the 2022
Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine, endowed to Svante Paabo
on his contributions to the field of ancient DNA.
Oct-2022
Liran was
interviewed in Kan 11 on the 2022
Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine, endowed to Svante Paabo
on his contributions to the field of ancient DNA.
Oct-2022
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the study that reported that milk usage alone cannot explain the
spread of the lactose-tolerance mutation. The authors claim that selection
works mainly during times of disease or famine spread, and not continuously.
Sep-2022
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the role of genetic changes in the gene TKTL1 to the shaping
of modern humans.
Sep-2022
Liran was featured in a documentary film on the Denisovans, directed by
Guy
Beauché, written by Emilie Martin & Fabrice Papillon, ©

Aug-2022
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the first human nuclear DNA sequenced from a victim of the Pompeii
volcanic eruption. Overall, the sequenced individual was genetically very similar
to other contemporary individuals from the area.
Jun-2022
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on signals of selection in Europeans affecting various complex traits
such as skin color and body size.
Nov-2021
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on the recent discovery of the Harbin skull (go to minute 15:45).
Nov-2021
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on a recent analysis of the sources of polymorphism in the human genome,
explaining the meaning of the claim that only 7% of the polymorphic sites are
uniquely human.
Aug-2021
Liran was
interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on two works that sequenced ancient DNA from the first Homo
sapiens who arrived to Europe.

interviewed in the Three who know radio show of
Kan 11, on why the Y-chromosome of Neanderthals is closer to that of
modern humans than to that of Denisovans.
