Darwin's famous sketch of a rooted tree, representing speciation
New preprint! Let me tell you a story about trees, caterpillars, brooms, entropy, and getting scooped by 50 years.
Rooted trees of all shapes and sizes crop up all over biology, computing and elsewhere. How can we best compare the shapes of these myriad trees? 1/14

If so, have a look at our manuscript accepted by @genetics-gsa.bsky.social, in which we provide a theoretical assessment of the genetic makeup of cancers before and after treatment!
My department is hiring! Permanent faculty job (research + teaching) in applied maths. Mathematical biology would be highly appropriate. We're a friendly department in a large university in central London, recently merged with a big medical school. Apply by 1st June. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMY889/l...

Resharing here a recent X post. In this preprint, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people. 1/ www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
