🪨 Ancient skull in Greece

Fresh dating shows the Petralona skull is at least 286,000 years old. This means it belonged to a human group that lived in Europe alongside early Neanderthals.

Since writing this paper, we've released Proseg 2, adding support for higher plex assays (e.g. Xenium Prime), and we're hard at work on Proseg 3 which adds support for sequencing based methods like Visium HD and Stereo-Seq.

Code is here: github.com/dcjones/proseg
Or just run: cargo install proseg

Thank you, another bit of misinformation out there that has led to widespread misunderstanding at best and at worst, purchasing or products that lead to the killing of shark for its cartilage with "supposed" healing powers. 🧪
I don't know who needs to hear this, but sharks absolutely get cancer.

Even if sharks didn't get cancer, eating shark wouldn't cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

Now: Harald Melin: VICTree - a Variational Inference method for Clonal Tree reconstruction #RECOMB2024 💻🧬🧪 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.14.580312v1.full
VICTree - a Variational Inference method for Clonal Tree reconstruction
Clonal tree inference brings crucial insights to the analysis of tumor heterogeneity and cancer evolution. Recent progress in single cell sequencing has prompted a demand for more advanced probabilistic models of copy number evolution, coupled with inference methods which can account for the noisy nature of the data along with dependencies between adjacent sites in copy number profiles. We present VICTree, a variational inference based algorithm for joint Bayesian inference of clonal trees, together with a novel Tree-structured Mixture Hidden Markov Model (TSMHMM) which combines HMMs related through a tree with a mixture model. For the tree inference, we introduce a new algorithm, LARS, for sampling directed labeled multifurcating trees. To evaluate our proposed method, we conduct experiments on simulated data and on samples of multiple myeloma and breast cancer. We demonstrate VICTree’s capacity for reliable clustering, clonal tree reconstruction, copy number evolution and the utility of the ELBO for model selection. Lastly, VICTree’s results are compared in terms of quality and speed of inference to other state-of-the-art methods. The code for VICTree is available on GitHub: [github.com/Lagergren-Lab/victree][1]. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
