Mode info COVID:Donc l’équipe de l’IHU a sequencé plus de 300 génomes de SARS-CoV2. Donc j’ai regardé la publication d’un peu plus près pour voir si on pouvait y trouver

I was hesitant to bring attention to this but I suspect it will be picked up soon. I am concerned that a recently posted preprint will cause another panic about

Our work on archaic introgression in enhancers is out in @NatureEcoEvo! We find enhancers to be depleted of young archaic variants introgressed from both Neandertals and Denisovans, esp. enhancers with

Why did chloroplasts and mitochondria transfer almost all their essential genes to the nucleus? I think economics had a part to play. TL;DR It is cheaper for the cell to

Based on my teaching experience, I know that many people will find this Euler diagram very confusing. I've been thinking about how to teach interpretation of these kinds of diagrams

A few comms on the (lack of) scientific merits of the "Yan Report". It is non-scientific and false - cherry picking data and ignoring data disproving their hypotheses.It's using technical

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown power of open data and analytics in research, but these activities often aren't recognised in traditional academic metrics. New perspective piece with @rozeggo & @sbfnk:

One of the things scientists do when facing an outbreak of a new disease is build 'phylogenies'. These estimate how pathogen isolates are related by comparing their genomes, and using

Can we talk about genomic data sharing for #covid19 #SARSCoV2 research? There is a great data portal from @NCBI, but only had ~173 genomes and ~41 raw sequencing read data
