Summary
Dear sedaDNA enthusiasts,
Hello and welcome to the June newsletter! This month I am presenting 10 papers and 5 preprints. I hope those of you gearing up for the International Conference on Palaeogenomics in Stockholm end of this month will have a good time, looks like it’s going to be a good one.
Wishing you a great month of June,
The organising board
