An international and open community for the promotion of collaborative and open science in palaeoproteomics.
This month Meaghan Mackie presents on best practices for communication between the archaeologists and archaeological scientists in order to facilitate collaborations.
More …This month Jakob Hansen presents his work on identifiying species selection strategies for the production of Neolithic bone objects using ZooMS. This research has been published in PLOS One.
For the second month on a row the monthly talk focuses on a new bioinformatic tool for palaeoproteomic analysis. This month, Alex Burnett gives a demonstration on how to use ClassiCOL, a new tool to facilitate taxonomic identifications using LC-MS/MS data. ClassiCOL was recently published in the Journal of Proteome Research and the tool is freely accessible on Github.
More …During the monthly talk of March, Ioannis Patramanis presents his new tool for protein-based phylogenetic analysis and the associated opportunities and challenges. This research was published in the Peer Community Journal and the tool is freely accessible on Github.
In this first monthly talk of 2025, Pauline Raymond discusses the developments in integrating ZooMS analyses in zooarchaeological research, especially with a focus on Neanderthal subsistence. This research also features in the special issue of PaleoAnthropology on ZooMS and zooarchaeology.
