Now published in Cell! We found that ~15% of SNPs from divergent refs did not liftover as SNPs in the gray fox ref—half mapped to monomorphic sites, half failed to map. Co-authored with Matthew Genchev, @elliecat.bsky.social, and @jazlynmooney.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Do you model by hand? Do you like saving time? Do you want better results without the grunt work? Then come to my #Evol2025 talk! I’ll present CoalMiner, a tool I built to automate demographic model generation for tools like fastsimcoal. Tuesday | Computational Biology II | 4:30–4:45pm
