Building upon Ragnar {Groot Koerkamp} 🦋 and Bryce Kille's recent breakthrough in lower bounding the density of local forward selection schemes, my colleagues Golan and Kraus et al. further tightened the lower bound: sites.google.com/view/shaygolan…. What an exciting time to study selection schemes!

New insights on minimizer schemes! A new preprint by my colleagues Golan and Shur shay g in which they developed and analyzed efficient ways to compute the expected density of random minimizers: arxiv.org/abs/2410.16968

Excited to share our new method GreedyMini+ to generate DNA minimizers with low expected or particular density for practical k & w values: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Joint work with my student Ido Tziony and my colleagues shay g, Matan Kraus, and Arseny Shur #minimizers
