I've received a first email from my institution regarding the #visaban. Not from @WUSTL, Test Account, or @WUSTLdbbs but from a student organization. DBBS SAC thank you for reaching out! This ban adds another layer of stress but WUSTL leadership doesn't seem to acknowledge that....

Can relate every single point.

WTH??????

A friend's male assistant is a fake email account she runs because people called her "difficult" and "impossible" for having small windows of availability until "he" started running interference and then people just accepted she was fucking busy. I AM VERY INTO THIS.

Here are my lecture notes on Computational and Mathematical Population Genetics that I have been sporadically working on for several years. I don't know whether I will ever be able to finish, so decided to release them now. Please share with your friends: github.com/popgenmethods/…

My last work (SnapATAC) in grad school is finally out in Nature Communications. Deeply grateful for everyone's contribution, especially for the unwavering support from my mentor Bing Ren. Glad to see it has been helpful to many other people's research, that's all that matters!

Our SV paper is now published online! Check out how those large guys 😈 can disturb genes 🧬and (potentially) affect phenotypes 💊 It's such a privilege to work on this precious dataset and I can't say enough thanks to my PI Ira Hall, all the great teammates and collaborators!

One of the nicest scientist (Monkol Lek) is doing a fundraiser for his gene therapy to potentially cure him of #muscularDystrophy and save his life! monkols-gene-therapy.raisely.com #fundraising #genetherapy #raredisease Cure Rare Disease #genetics

The first draft of a human pangenome reference — a collection that aims to eventually represent as many as possible of the DNA sequences found across our species — is published in Nature today go.nature.com/41tVqg6

The field of human genetics is evolving at a rapid pace. Much of this progress is driven by our recent ability to link common DNA variants to complex traits with genome-wide association studies (GWASs) 🧬 For both newcomers and seasoned geneticists, good review papers can be

Research faculty member Dr. Yang Eric Li (Yang Eric Li) is looking for students to join his new lab. Are you interested in #bioinformatics, #deeplearningmodels, and #singlecelltechnologies? Learn more & reach out to Dr. Li today.:neurosurgery.wustl.edu/mapping-human-…

Out today in Nature Biotechnology! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… Martin Lercher

I see we are getting to the stage of the discussion where people are starting to defend UMAP saying it can 'reveal patterns' or 'structure' in the data. Without ever specifying what precisely these patterns/structures represent. This is not surprising because hardly anybody 1/n
