🎙️Tune in to Episode 238 of #TheGeneticsPodcast 🚀 This week, we’re joined by Dr. Bin Yu, Chancellor's Distinguished Professor at UC Berkeley. Listen in to hear why linear models may not tell the whole story in genetics, how a stability-driven random forest approach revealed novel epistatic interactions in cardiomyopathy, and why predictability, computability, and stability should guide how we do data science in biology.
