Adobe Premiere Pro can “go from log to “looks great” instantly — no LUTs needed.” I can now stop asking interns if they know how to color grade!!

We developed CrossFilt, a read-level, cross-species filtering approach that avoids these errors without sacrificing usable data. It outperforms all existing strategies and exposes just how much signal in comparative genomics has been misread.

CrossFilt: A Cross-species Filtering Tool that Eliminates Alignment Bias in Comparative Genomics Studies
Comparative functional genomic studies are often affected by biased read mapping across species due to inter-species differences in genome structure, sequence composition, and annotation quality. We d...

I wanted to quickly explain why, school kids should learn markdown instead of MS Office, and ended up writing another major Epos:
ia.net/topics/markd...
This is, I kid you not, about 1/6th of what I wrote. I'll publish the rest later.

🐐 New preprint out with @gingerhowley.bsky.social The VarGoats Consortium and many others!
We explore how genotype imputation can enhance low-coverage ancient goat/Capra🐐 genomes, shedding light on early domestication and herd management.

Inferring domestic goat demographic history through ancient genome imputation
Goats were among the earliest managed animals, making them a natural model to explore the genetic consequences of domestication. However, a challenge in ancient genomic analysis is the relatively low ...
