PyDamage new version, packed with new features, including super fast base quality rescaling for #aDNA reads ! github.com/maxibor/pydama…




We start back with our second sub session “Alternative Sources of microbiomes” with @notmaxib and Tziona Ben-gedalya having their tandem talk!! @archaeologyEAA
Great attendance at the bridge building session between metagenomics and archeology at #EAA2024 ! Next year we'll maybe need to push the walls a little bit for @archaeologyEAA 2025

Starting to build bridges this morning at #EAA2024 with the session #854 at the crossroads of metagenomics, ancient DNA, and archeology

We are all here #EAA2024 Kicked off with @spaam_community #spaam6 conference followed by opening ceremony at the beautiful site of Roman Fori. Don't miss out on tomorrow's session #854 👇 we are super excited to see you all!!!
Ready for the #EAA2024 ? We certainly are! If you are interested in discussing how we can better integrate archaeology and ancient metagenomics, join us on Friday, 30th August, in Room 25, 1st floor, building CU002! See the schedule and map below!! 🦠📷🎙️ @archaeologyEAA

Alphabetical order mismatch and 52 of 78 neighborhoods had wrongly merged data. I spend a lot of time teaching advanced inference methods, but boring research data management remains the most essential skill. And that includes auditing for merge mistakes.
The findings in the published paper, however, are completely untrue, and can only be replicated using an improperly merged dataset. The findings are an artifact of failed data management.
Just released: efficiently computing dN/dS with comp_dnds github.com/maxibor/comp_d…

Taking identity-by-descent (IBD) analysis into the wild! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In this preprint, we leverage novel genomic methods to estimate fine-scale gradients of relatedness in animals and highlight their many applications in the field of ecology and evolution.🐒🧬 [1/3]
Are you running antiSMASH across many genomes? Check out multiSMASH, my simple wrapper that streamlines comparative BGC analyses by parallelizing antiSMASH runs and tabulating the results. Runs BiG-SCAPE too! WIP, so feedback and bug reports appreciated. github.com/zreitz/multism…

People underestimate how impactful Scikit-Learn continues to be.
Congratulations @PabloCarri6 and co-authors!🎉🎉
📕 A study co-led by @IBE_Barcelona and @Harvard University has recovered and analyzed the ancient #genome 🦴🧬 of 146 people who inhabited the Balkan Peninsula during the 1st millennium, revealing how Slavic Europe was formed🧵 ➡️ ibe.upf-csic.es/home/-/asset_p…
The evolution of the English language over a 1,000-year time span traces back to the 5th century when England was invaded by different tribes, including the Angles, Jutes, Saxons, and Frisians. Their languages produced what we know today as Anglo-Saxon or Old English, which…
There was a superb study of honesty around the world in 2019. Leave 17,000 wallets (with contact email) containing various sums of money in 355 cities across 40 countries. Would finders email the owner? The result: rates of honesty vary a LOT.
