Want to see a talk by me about #Snakemake on #HPC clusters? The benefits of using a workflow system? Its impact on #reproducibility and subsequent data management?
Then see me at @FAU (Erlangen, Germany) on 14. January.

We only started naming anti-Palestinian racism a few years ago. We used to call it “the Palestine exception”, but it now has a name, ans it’s very pervasive.
The Arab-Canadian lawyers association wrote a brilliant report that also names #UofT as one of the hot beds of #APR in Canada.

Excited to announce the release of version 0.0.2 of the `tskit_arg_visualizer` Python package on PyPI! This update brings functionality for handling larger ARGs, including major performance improvements (thanks to @yan) and a new Node View that shows local connections around a focal node, useful when your ARG is too large to display fully. Styling has also been overhauled, allowing for customizability in the colors and symbols used in your plots. Check it out at https://pypi.org/project/tskit-arg-visualizer/!
