Ultra-realistic simulations of 1.4 million human genomes generated by using a detailed pedigree of French Canadians as input to #msprime! These simulations are hugely useful for large-scale genomics methods development, because they are freely available, easy to download (2.8G for chr1), and efficient to process using #tskit. I hope they will become a standard benchmark across all sorts of methods.

By memory I also would attribute that to Rasmus ... and I think you have the original one .. although there might be a TPB paper just before that .. again memory ... fails :0)

Scientific illustrator Mark Balen of @artscistudios has a wonderful new infographic out: The Global Biomass of Mammalian Life

You are completely right @jrossibarra the Caicedo 2007 is just right there ... faulty memory !

I really enjoyed talking with the crew at 'The Politics of Everything' for this podcast. Had no idea until it posted today that Ted Chiang was also interviewed!
