Preprint Alert!!! I’m happy to share with you my work with @SkovLaurits, Benjamin Peter and Mikkel H. Schierup on investigating generation time changes in humans over the last 40,000 years from archaic fragment lengths and patterns of mutation accumulation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'll be showing how to use some nice new automation tools that help us pull data from Ensembl to add species to the catalog. Adding species is much easier now!

Personally, this is my first in AJHG, which I'm very excited about. Another random fact - due to this 2017 paper nature.com/articles/s4159…, I am now a proud co-author of both father and son Andres and Mait Metspalu! Two life goals achieved 😆

Check out our paper with @[email protected] on a first useful product that came out of our spatial modeling work. Looking forward to do more on this front. Also flawless review process by JOSS!

#msprime 1.0.0 is out! This is a huge release with loads of new and improved APIs. The old APIs will still work and are supported indefinitely --- if this release breaks your code, please let us know! tskit.dev/msprime/docs/s…

Tel Aviv University CS Prof Benny Chor passed away today. ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award for his MIT CSAIL PhD, Techion Fleming and Tel Aviv University professor, innovative cryptographer & bio-informaticist, fantastic teacher & advisor, and a wonderful person. youtu.be/qdZtJsGghvs?t=…

Our latest preprint. An inventory of sites in the human genome at which mutations apparently have large deleterious effects with a number of interesting implications.

"Where Asia meets Europe – recent insights from ancient human genomics" Very nice review by Michal Feldman et al on the demographic history of the Near East, the Steppe, and North East Europe, as reconstructed from ancient DNA. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Nice to see this out

Will have to read before I can weigh in, but I agree with the general sentiment. Unfortunately, this is a symptom of many ancient DNA papers.

In Copenhagen for #ESHRE2023 My first time in Denmark. Very excited for the city and the conference! Let me know if you wish to meet/chat. My talk on expected outcomes and attitudes towards polygenic embryo screening on Tuesday at 17:45 (Hall D1).

A new preprint by my student Shaked, who developed a new generative model for genetic data

The main innovation was the use of the Auxiliary Classifier GAN, which enables explicit modeling of sub populations.

Robust and Accurate Bayesian Inference of Genome-Wide Genealogies for Large Samples dlvr.it/T4B7pX

In 2013 Márcio Repenning and Carla Fontana described Sporophila beltoni. In our new paper, Tram Nguyen and I teamed up with them to show how S. beltoni diverged from S. plumbea with a few genomic regions resisting introgression, despite high gene flow. doi.org/10.1093/evolut…

Excited to see this preprint out "A geographic history of human genetic ancestry" by Michael Grundler, Jonathan Terhorst & Gideon Bradburd biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share my latest preprint (with a stellar band of collaborators), where we map the VCF data model into an efficient, cloud-native storage format. Thread follows: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am excited to finally announce that the Lauterbur EvoEco lab will be opening in the Biology Department at the beautiful University of Vermont @biologyuvm this fall. Opportunities for grad students and postdocs bridging computational/organismal evolutionary ecology and genomics

Good luck, Elise!
