Beasts to Craft: Biocodicology as a new approach to the study of parchment manuscripts

The aim of the ERC project Beasts to Craft (B2C) is to document the biological and craft records in parchment in order to reveal the entangled histories of improvement and parchment production in Europe from 500-1900 AD.

Chromatin 3D Structure of Archaic Human Populations and Its Impact on Modern Human Genomes

Most people in Eurasia today carry fragments of DNA inherited from ancient hominins such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. This genetic legacy has influenced traits such as immunity, skin pigmentation, and susceptibility to certain diseases, but the ways in which archaic DNA continues to shape human biology are still not fully understood.
