Our new preprint on quantifying microbial sample diversity/complexity in a way that accounts for both metagenome architecture and taxonomic composition is now live on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #metagenomics #bioinformatics #dataanalysis #graphdata

Our new preprint on the inconsistency of the combined gene tree parsimony costs is now live on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Check out our new preprint on improving gene regulatory network inference by incorporating a prior from plain-text gene descriptions. It's a simple idea, but we show that it proves to be quite powerful and adaptable. [1/4] www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nicolae Sapoval @nsapoval.bsky.social presented "Theoretical and empirical performance of pseudo-likelihood- based Bayesian inference of species trees under the multispecies coalescent" A fantastic theory talk, offering intuitive insights! Paper: doi.org/10.1101/2025.01.28.635282

Our preprint on using pseudo-likelihood for Bayesian inference of species trees from gene tree data under the multispecies coalescent is now online: doi.org/10.1101/2025... [1/n]

It’s that time of the year when I get some writing done. Here are some notes on how I work with academic literature: plume-lifeboat-00b.notion.site/How-I-find-o...

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4 (A little bit behind the schedule this year, but gotta keep it going)

I was waiting for a great topic for my first Bluesky post, and I cannot thing of a better one: I’m thrilled to be hosting @aphillippy.bsky.social at Rice University today and looking forward to his talk at 4pm! events.rice.edu/event/345896...
