I look forward to serving this vibrant community of computational scientists #compchem #compbio #machinelearning #biophysics

Pinto et al. present SCINKD as a framework to identify unannotated sex chromosomes and curate diploid genome assemblies from a single individual.

Didelot et al. present the R package DiagnoDating for diagnosing issues in a reconstructed dated phylogeny, including outlier detection, posterior predictive checking and residual analysis.

Daniel Huson introduces displacement-optimized tanglegrams (DO-tanglegrams), a new approach that applies equally to trees and rooted phylogenetic networks, performing better than cophylo on trees and then NN-tanglegram on networks.

McArthur et al. present piqtree, an easy to use, open-source Python package that provides Python script-based control of IQ-TREE’s phylogenetic inference engine.

@sishuowang & Meade introduce phyloHessian to enable the use of complex mixture substitution models in molecular dating. Empirical analysis of ancient symbiont lineages leads to a revised understanding of their host association origins.

Robbins, Liu & Kelly present RECUR, a method for identifying recurrent amino acid substitutions from multiple sequence alignments that is fast, easy to use, and scalable to thousands of sequences.

Deng et al. present TreeProfiler, a tool for automated annotation and interactive exploration of hundreds of features along large gene and species trees, with seamless summarization of mapped traits at internal nodes.

Martí-Gómez et al. developed gpmap-tools, integrating models for inference, phenotypic imputation, and error estimation from multiplex assays of variant effect data or natural sequences in the presence of genetic interactions.
