We introduce an ARG-inspired data structure Genotype Representation Graph (GRG) to enable lossless data compression, efficient computation through graph traversal. Developed a fast inference method. Cost ~80 GBP to convert 350TB VCF (200,000 UKBiobank WGS) into 160 GB GRG.

A wonderful writeup on our study also out today in @guardian @guardianeco, it was great to talk to @pgreenfielduk about butterfly genomics and why sequencing their genomes is so vital!

Saw a copy of this letter at Mani Bhavan yesterday. I knew Gandhi had written (unsuccessfully) to Hitler before Poland, but I had no idea that this was the tone

Mani Bhavan in Mumbai was Gandhi's headquarters for almost 2 decades (1917-34) and from where he launched most of his anti British satyagrahas 💪

Q for people who teach undergrads, have college admission age children, or just know stuff worldwide: Is a professional college admission counsellor now necessary for helping you prepare your college admission?

Apparently in India personal college admission counsellors charge up to 15 lakhs (18,000 USD!!) per student JUST to help them write essays/forms I'm trying to convince my cousin's son that it's not necessary to employ these "counsellors" But maybe my knowledge bis out of date?

Why are people still flying to climate conferences by private jet? London to @COP28_UAE in Dubai, by private jet travel is 11x more polluting than a commercial flight. 315 private jets went to COP27 in Egypt more going to Dubai - why! #ClimateChange theconversation.com/why-are-…

Why are people still flying to climate conferences by private jet?

Private jet from London to COP28 in Dubai is 11 times more polluting than a commercial aircraft.

I have avoided using this platform for politics / current affairs and have tried to restrict myself to science, but with current events, this is no longer possible. Here are some thoughts about what is happening. It is long and rambling. Apologies. 1/24

🚨“No research on a dead planet” I’m thrilled to announce @LauraLoHorn, @PHellermann, @CharlieJGardner & my new paper in @FrontEducation. Why, despite acknowledging the urgency of climate emergency, have universities yet to respond adequately to the crisis? A short🧵
