If you're new to demographic history inference from population genomics, try this webapp I created to illustrate how dadi fits bottleneck models to site frequency spectra: ryangutenkunst-dadi-two-epoch.hf.space . It even outputs files for submitting to the GHIST competition! ghi.st

Glad to see this paper out on the genetic adaptations in the Haenyeo in response to their specialized diving lifestyle led by Diana Aguilar-Gómez. Very interesting population structure and selection analyses. Check it out! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Amid the chaos, it was great to share results from the first Genomic History Inference Strategies Tournament at ProbGen25. Watch the talk to learn about the future of GHIST and @andrewhvaughn.bsky.social's nefarious metagaming of demographic inference. 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_dv...
Talk describing the results of GHIST1 at ProbGen 25.

Always happy to game a little 😁. Thanks to all the organizers for putting this together!
Congrats to Andrew Vaughn @andrewhvaughn.bsky.social, for winning 3 out of 4 challenges in the inaugural GHIST competition in population genetics inference. He not only submitted accurate inferences, he also gamed the system by further optimizing his score beyond the maximum likelihood inferences. 😜
