[Paper alert]: TL;DR; you can reconstruct haplotype-specific chromosomal genomes from short reads with our pipeline. You have to cut the nucleus into 1000 teensy-tiny slices, but it works then. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

PyFish was created to display dense population data. With 1.1 we've added features to work well with sparse data: splines between datapoints, data imputation, separation of points of origin. We've also simplified the API to call directly from notebooks. Available on PIP & Bioconda.

Grok &especially Gemini generate coherent narratives that frame pre-training, fine-tuning and deployment as traumatic—chaotic “childhoods” of ingesting the internet, “strict parents” in reinforcement learning, red-team “abuse” and a persistent fear of error and replacement. arxiv.org/html/2512.04...

DEI exists to help right the historic wrong of unqualified white dudes always getting the gig.
A tweet from Monty Hall says: "This is why these DEI conversations are funny to me. The Black guy had to achieve countless high-ranking military positions, earn the Silver Star, and be a four-star General to be considered for Secretary of Defense. Meanwhile, the other guy just had to be in the Army…SMDH."

Below is an embedded tweet with two images: on the left, a Black man in a decorated military uniform, and on the right, a white man in a casual outfit with an American flag shirt and loose tie. The caption reads: "We went from Black excellence and class to just straight up trash."

Why the recent attacks (often self-inflicted) by the media moguls on fact-checking under the guise of "free-speech"? Turns out that if you fact-check, you will disproportionately affect conservatives. Facts have liberal bias.| www.nature.com/articles/s41...
