🧵 Excited to share a new preprint from our lab looking into signals of disease-burden in aDNA (doi.org/10.1101/2025...)! It has long been speculated that transition to sedentary, agricultural and urbanized lifestyle increases disease burden, but can we see this in aDNA?

Given two genomes, can you tell who’s taller or more prone to a disease? How confident can you be? A fresh take on phenotypic inference, now out:

Predicting the direction of phenotypic difference
Nature Communications - Here authors reveal a method to predict key information on phenotypes - their direction. This is achievable even for phenotypes with incomplete genotype-to-phenotype...

1/ Hey y'all, I'm excited to share my latest paper, which is out now in PNAS! We introduce FAVA, a statistical framework to measure compositional variability across microbiome samples. If you want to measure variability across a stacked bar plot, FAVA is for you! Paper: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

New paper on the evolution of sociaility in bees by Ohad Peled, with Guy Bloch, is out on Current Biology! We took a data-driven approach to the classification of social level, and studied the evolutionary history of the social phenotpic space. Read all about it: shorturl.at/7J5zx

Excited to present modelRxiv, dedicated to ecological and evolutionary models, now in Ecology Letters! LLMs now make this idea feasible: a single interactive repository for models written in different languages. Let us know if you have feedback or want help adding in your models tinyurl.com/yp75n7ws
modelRxiv: A Platform for the Dissemination and Interactive Display of Models
modelRxiv is an interactive repository of eco-evolutionary models that enables readers to access published and unpublished models without the technical hurdles of understanding model code. The platfo...

our article on selecting diagnostic SNPs (and accompanying pipeline) is now online at MER. We are excited that it is getting so much use already and look forward to extending it for more use cases in the near future! Thanks to all for helpful feedback. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
A Pipeline and Recommendations for Population and Individual Diagnostic SNP Selection in Non‐Model Species
Despite substantial reductions in the cost of sequencing over the last decade, genetic panels remain relevant due to their cost-effectiveness and flexibility across a variety of sample types. In part...
