Our preprint, where we infer the fitness effects of new mutations in regulatory regions of the D. melanogaster genome. We find an abundance of weakly deleterious effects - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A model for background selection in non-equilibrium populations https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.19.639084v1
In #GENETICS, Jacob Marsh, Sachin Kaushik, and @johriparul.bsky.social examine why and when rescaling of forward simulations in population genetics is not accurate, identifying pitfalls in simulation methods. buff.ly/wpzDRV9

PEQG! My favorite conference ever*. Single session, fantastic talks, great discussions. Only once every 2 years. And in the best conference location too! Abstract deadline coming up Feb 5!
*Disclosure: I am required to say it's the best conference because it is and I told my mom I wouldn't lie.
