In Jan bought my first house and have been gradually learning about all the insane choices the previous owners made. Today, I learned that one of the floors is laminate over FOUR previous linoleum floors. Four. Which means it's a total of 5 floors. The top 2 lino floors were... THE SAME LINOLEUM 😶

Welp, the linked-read data simulator in Harpy will be moving to {drum roll}} Mimick! pdimens.github.io/mimick/#/ I'm quite grateful to David Bolognini for giving me stewardship over the XENIA module in VISOR (which is the basis for Mimick). It's supercharged!! #genetics #genomics #linkedreads

13 years ago, the recently appointed acting Undersecretary for NOAA and I were interns together at DISL. Not feeling great about this. In other news, I made a banana flambe-inspired pie to squash down those feelings.

Harpy v2.0 is almost across the finish line, and I wrote a lil' post about what linked-read sequencing actually is and how we evaluate the data differently than standard short-read data. It's a quick and easy read (with pictures!), highly recommend 🤓 #PopGen pdimens.github.io/harpy/blog/l...
