Brad Efron's 13 rules for giving a really bad talk (from efron.ckirby.su.domains/other/2013Thir…) Thanks to Robert Grant for finding this gem

I've always liked informational views of evolution, so when Arvid Ågren asked if I'd review Chris Adami's new book, I was delighted. It's a great book, and I discuss connections to Maynard Smith and Lewontin's ideas, measurement, Fisher's fundamental theorem, and more.

Fast variance component analysis using large-scale ancestral recombination graphs biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_genetic

Excited to share our paper, on efficient variance-component estimation in ARGs, following-up on method developement by Ali Pazoki and Sriram Sankararaman and my PhD work. We introduce ARG-RHE to estimate narrow-sense h2 and perform region-based association testing using an ARG.

Very excited to share this preprint on fast inference of ancestral recombination graphs. Our algorithm, Threads, scales to large sample sizes and we show how our methods can be used to improve data compression, association studies, and genotype imputation.

New preprint out on biorxiv! I propose a model for the stability of sex chromosome systems based only on the operation of stabilizing selection on polygenic traits. This will be a short thread on the main results 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
