In their Specious Art paper, Chari & Lior Pachter claim that tSNE/UMAP are as arbitrary as a random elephant shape. But are they?

We show in our comment that this is false and throws the tSNE/UMAP baby out with the bathwater!

Are you frequently conducting PCA/MDS analyses on genotype data (including ancient DNA)? You can now open Pandora's box by assessing their stability via bootstrapping with our new Pandora tool: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Robust and Accurate Bayesian Inference of Genome-Wide Genealogies for Large Samples dlvr.it/T4B7pX

“Variant scores calculated by GATK did not clearly distinguish true positives from false positives in the vast majority of cases, implying that hard-filtering with GATK could be challenging… results suggest that Bcftools mpileup may be the first choice for non-human studies”
