Reference genome choice compromises population genetic analyses - a problem for microbes too! Our lab is designing a tool to automatically choose references for input samples using features like phylogeny of reads to existing references. Any thoughts🤩? 🧪🦠🧬🖥️ #microsky

Reference genome choice compromises population genetic analyses
Using a species-specific reference genome significantly improves the accuracy of population
genetic analyses, as exemplified by mapping gray fox sequence data to genomes of several
canid species. Mapp...

We are thrilled to announce the first official release (v0.1.8) of #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗿, the successor to one of our flagship tool, #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀! Based on ideas we conceived of long ago (!), this was achieved thanks to the dedication of Brent Pedersen.

This has got to be AI generated word salad, surely, because nobody with basic knowledge of real numbers would even think to write that division of integers can generate irrational numbers.
Damn…..did the people that wrote the new “knowledge rich” curriculum even proof read their work or know how to math?

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.
There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.
