By the way, I found errors in the data published alongside this paper, emailed the address on the website and heard nothing back

Erfurt is the capital of Thuringia.

Excited to share our work on alternative splicing (AS) rdcu.be/dSHtu. This version, compared to the biorXiv one, is much more succinct due to word limits; I hope you will have a look. Congrats to Benjamin Fair and Carlos Buen Abad for their incredible work!🧵⬇️

Happy to see the new splitstree paper by Daniel Huson & David Bryant: nature.com/articles/s4159… A few years ago Tara Chari and I used splitstree to analyze Senate votes in this APSA_Preprints (the use for voting data was suggested by David Bryant): preprints.apsanet.org/engage/apsa/ar…

Preprint on "BWT construction and search at the terabase scale". We can compress 100 human genomes to 11GB in 21 hours, find SMEMs with it, do affine-gap alignment and retrieve similar local haplotypes. 7.3Tb commonly sequenced bacterial genomes ⇒ 30GB arxiv.org/abs/2409.00613

This is legit.

Watch the talk from Joseph Rich, grad student in Lior Pachter's lab, from BioC2024 timestamp ~12:30 youtu.be/T6cOyKHlxpE?si…

Growing up I heard the word "jerrican" a lot. Never realized, until today, that it's origin is the slang "jerry" used by allies to refer to Germans during WWII (although the slang originated in WWI).

It never fails to bemuse me that I may be over 60 now but still get asked in research settings "whose lab I work in"......
