Report of the eighth GAbridge project journal club, June 10th, 2025

The eighth journal club meeting as part of the GAbridge project took place on Tuesday, June 10th, 2025. PhD candidate Ivana Keršić presented the paper "A Million Years of Mammoth Mitogenome Evolution" (Chacón-Duque et al., 2025), an interesting paper closely related to the group's work in terms of topic and methodology. The authors explain and apply an adapted approach of dating samples that are beyond the time limits of carbon-14 dating, using molecular dating on Pleistocene mammoth remains. The possibilities of such an approach were discussed and how this methodology could be applied to the samples from our project.
