The Mathieson Lab at the University of Pennsylvania is hiring a computational postdoc in machine learning and evolutionary biology. Apply with a CV and references: smathi@sas.upenn.edu. More info: https://saramathieson.github.io/lab #postdoc
We are a computational lab focusing on developing machine learning algorithms for biological data. Currently we are working on inference tasks related to natural selection and demographic inference, as well as generative models for genomic data from humans, mosquitos, and other species.

A bunch of these edits don’t even have anything to do with dire wolves; they are just in random pigmentation genes.
I am not necessarily against the initiative, but would a chimpanzee with 20 gene edits be human?
If you lined up a dire wolf genome with a gray wolf genome there would be millions of differences. These individuals seem optimistically 1/100,000th dire wolf. (No paper or preprint available though).

It's not a dire wolf. It's a gray wolf clone with 20 dire-wolf gene edits, and with some dire wolf traits. And here's my story! Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/s...
