I didn’t know until now, but I was born to decline faculty meeting calendar invites.
The

just rocked it last semester. I'm so proud.

As I sit and reflect on the Spring 2024 semester, I am just amazed at all the incredible achievements of the PLOMEE team! We started the Spring semester with Gabe Barret defending his Master’s thesis, “Variant Graphs Improve Accuracy of Downstream Analysis In Restriction Site-Associated DNA Sequencing.
Out now! A dynamic web resource for robust and #reproducible #genomics in nonmodel species

This paper in @MethodsEcolEvol describes our web resource for genomics pipelines. Examples include functional genomics, population genomics #PopGen, and genome-phenome. More pages are coming soon.
Many examples use #rstats and datasets for marine organisms. Consider contributing to the site! It's a great way to achieve broader impacts for your work.
JUST PUBLISHED: "A second unveiling: Haplotig masking of the eastern oyster genome improves population-level inference" #Evolution #Genomics #PopGen #oyster https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1755-0998.13801
A haplotig in an assembly occurs when a single region is split into two places in the reference. We had them everywhere in our first eastern oyster assembly! This causes a bimodal distribution of coverage. This study shows how haplotigs affect pop gen inference and how to improve the reference by masking haplotigs.
We had a lot of SNPs and used strict filtering, and I suspect these effects are more pronounced with higher tolerances for missing data.
The paper itself is paywalled (but see free link above), but the nearly identical preprint is @ https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.08.29.505626
