Low-coverage sequencing (LCS) + genotype imputation is a cost-effective approach to genotype hundreds of samples at a full-genome level. But how do different imputation tools perform across populations with varying relatedness and inbreeding?

Sex or growth? Life must continually balance these strategies. We forced yeast to choose and captured the trade-off in real time. Evolution rewired existing regulators and fixed them through genetic assimilation, creating specialists for sex at the cost of growth. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Pleased to announce that our #preprint on the evolutionary history of gene functions is now online at #bioRxiv! We overlayed functional annotations on the evolutionary history of ~4.5M genes from 508 species across the tree of life and found some very cool stuff! tinyurl.com/FuncEvol 🧵 1/10

Does phenotypic plasticity promote (Baldwin effect) or hinder (Mayr) genetic adaptation? Lambert et al. mathematically show that when adaptive plasticity increases, the Baldwin effect increases, peaks then decreases as plasticity begins to mask selection. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

We are excited to share GPN-Star, a cost-effective, biologically grounded genomic language modeling framework that achieves state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of variant effect prediction tasks relevant to human genetics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/n)
