1/ Genome-wide (and other) positive selection screens in genomes may be severely biased by alignment and other errors. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… we (Avery Selberg, Nathan Clark nclark.bsky.social, Maria Chikina, Anton Nekrutenko 🇺🇦, Steven Weaver, Alexander G Lucaci, Tim Sackton) propose a simple fix.

✍️New blog post Do you really need more data? jenteottenburghs.wordpress.com/2024/11/18/do-… Many outstanding questions require additional data collection or clever experimental design. However, I regularly ask myself: do I really need more data to answer this question?

Preprint alert 🚨 Cautions in the use of Oxford Nanopore sequencing to map DNA modifications: officially reported “accuracy” ≠ reliable mapping in real applications. We performed a critical assessment of nanopore sequencing (across different versions of models) for the detection of

Released a new version of my little data processing tool, `bam2bw`. As you might expect, it goes directly from BAM to un/stranded bigwig(s), but now also supports fragment.tsv files. No more intermediary sorting and bedGraph steps! Way faster + less disk than before.
