Heads up: ignore samtools dot org, similarly minimap2 dot com and likely others. It's owned by a known phishing site and while the binaries they offer look valid currently (but note they may be serving us different binaries to others), that could change.

Sparse matrix factorization robust to sample sharing across GWASs reveals interpretable genetic components We developed a computational method to identify genetic pathways shared among complex traits that applies matrix factorization to decompose genetic associations across hundreds of phenotypes. Our meth...

Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

(For the record, no one has ever asked me this, but it is a really good question!)

I think we know where they are.
