Please amplify: We are organizing a session entitled "Earth Friendly Computation: Applying Indigenous Data Lifecycles in Medical and Sovereign AI" on Big Data, Indigenous data lifecycles, environmental impact at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (Pac Sym Biocomputing) on January

Ever wondered when you "scaled down" parameters in SLiM, what is being simulated is actually comparable to what is intended by the model? We got an answer for you!

Two new preprints from my group today---this one was led by Dandan Peng with an assist from Obadiah Mulder. Dandan benchmarked a bunch of leading ARG-estimation methods with respect to a specific goal (1/n)

Second preprint from my group today---this one is led by Feriel Ouerghi . In this one, we discuss a previously proposed method for building forensic likelihood ratios from sequencing reads (1/n)

1.A. Real quick -- 2 new products from #OGangGang: 1st is in Bulletin of Mathematical Biology (SMB - Society for Mathematical Biology): Viruses differ in their natural history, routes of transmission, etc. How do these differences influence the evolution of virulence? link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Excited to share the last paper from my PhD, advised by @spence_jeffrey_ and Jonathan Pritchard! We explore a new way to study selection on complex traits that circumvents some of the most troublesome limitations of GWAS biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/9)

GWAS on EA/IQ are today's version of Morton's craniometry studies, imo. Every time I see these terrible papers pop-up, I wonder how we stop people from pursuing such fundamentally flawed "research" that is often steeped in racial biases & completely lacking scientific rigor.

Sorry to miss everyone at #SMBE2024! A couple of talks from my group: Feriel Ouerghi "How should we report genetic matches following an investigative genetic genealogy search?" in S35, Costa Alegre, 18:20 on Tuesday the 9th 1/2

Excited to share this new preprint with @spence_jeffrey_ and Doc Edge in which we developed a method to infer demographic history and mutation rates from millions of genomes, and applied it to gnomAD v4 data. Read on for a brief thread! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our study investigating the genetic ancestries of Afro-Puerto Ricans is now published in American Journal of Biological Anthropology! This work was led by @sankofadna & done in collaboration w/COPI 🇵🇷💃🏿: copipr.com (1/n ) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

There are more captive tigers than wild tigers on Earth. A study of the genetic diversity of captive tigers finds that they are not more inbred than wild tigers but do not represent a reservoir of genetic diversity that has been lost in the wild. In PNAS: ow.ly/hFjM50TwgA3

Super excited this work with @_ellie_cat is finally out. Hopefully the first (publishing wise) of many collabs 😎

Our lab group is recruiting for a new Postdoc to join us. We are looking for someone to work on projects in Deep Learning and/or Spatial Population Genetics. Please share.

so fun to be interviewed by an organization I've admired for years! had the chance to brag about the incredible trainee-led work that went into the ethics class led by Rachel Ungar + Tami Gjorgjieva + Alvina Adimoelja + Daphne Martschenko, PhD + me

Asst. Prof. Maria Nieves Colón talks about the early history of the Caribbean and colonial impacts in the PBS documentary episode "Echoes of Empires" in VOCES American Historia: The Untold History of Latinos. The episode is available online through Oct 25. pbs.org/video/echoes-o…
