Dandan Peng

New work from my lab, led by graduate student @janisl98. Janis studied type I error rates in Qst/Fst comparisons (1/n, link to preprint below)

Excited to share this new preprint with @spence_jeffrey_ and @DocEdge85 in which we developed a method to infer demographic history and mutation rates from millions of genomes, and applied it to gnomAD v4 data. Read on for a brief thread! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Second preprint from my group today---this one is led by @feriel_ouerghi_ . In this one, we discuss a previously proposed method for building forensic likelihood ratios from sequencing reads (1/n)

Two new preprints from my group today---this one was led by @Dandan_Peng with an assist from Obadiah Mulder. Dandan benchmarked a bunch of leading ARG-estimation methods with respect to a specific goal (1/n)

@DocEdge85 Even the guy who wrote SLiMulation on the slides still said SLIM simulation 😂

People are stalwartly resisting the temptation to say "SLiMulation" instead of "SLiM simulation" in their talks #Evol2023

Excited to share my newest preprint with @DocEdge85, as well as collaborators @jgschraiber, Caoqi Fan, @bldinh, @nmancuso_, and @CharlestonCWKC. In it, we proposed testing tree-based summaries of local relatedness to find QTLs (thread). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The virtual symposium "Using Ancestral Recombination Graphs (ARGs) to Infer Evolutionary Processes" will take place on Friday September 30. You can find the program here: virtual.oxfordabstracts.com/#/event/3132/p…"

I'm looking to hire a postdoc to work on questions related to genetic privacy, forensic genetics, and complex traits from a population-genetic perspective. Please RT and write to me if interested. jobrxiv.org/job/university…

@jessemkreger @DocEdge85 Did you put this book on the quad desk? I saw it this morning🤣.

@DocEdge85 New mandatory lab reading? bookshop.org/books/hip-hop-…
