A lot of bioinformatics requires editing sequencing reads to facilitate QC and make them suitable for processing. To help with such tasks, @DelaneyKSull developed splitcode, now published at academic.oup.com/bioinformat… 1/

I field a lot of questions about ancestral state reconstruction of discrete traits so I posted a new tutorial to my blog that contains a number of useful #Rstats #phytools demos. 😀
Check it out here: blog.phytools.org/2024/04/a-….

I have made my entire "Introduction to ggplot2" tutorial available on my website!
The tutorial covers the basics of ggplot2, geometries, colors, themes, etc.
It includes code and comments, as well as references to Pokémon!

Sci Hub is a "pirate" website with 88M research papers freely available.
Using it is not advisable. We should all try to make billion-dollar acdemic publishers richer.
Here's a thread on integrating Zotero with Sci Hub to get free articles.
PLEASE DON'T DO THIS 😉

I am delighted to present TRAILS, a new hidden Markov model that
- reconstructs the speciation process (ancestral Ne and speciation times)
- infers the multi-species ancestral recombination graph (ARG)
Stay here for a brief summary of the paper! (1/17)

I have almost 30k citations and millions in research funding.
But almost 20 years ago, I just wrote my first research paper.
I had no writing support during grad school & I want you to have it better.
Here are secret actionable writing tips for 6 sections of your paper. ↓
