About using #citation impact measures to estimate the importance of scientific #publications:
"All metrics of scientific #evaluation are bound to be abused. Goodhart's law [...] states that when a feature of the economy is picked as an indicator of the economy, then it inexorably ceases to function as that indicator because people start to game it."

GERP scores are frequently used to classify and assess the prevalence of deleterious mutations, but what are the limitations of this approach and how sensitive is it to what species are included in the underlying alignment? I was wondering about this and found this nice paper from 2020 that I had missed at the time, and that investigates these issues using simulations.
Here's the paper by Huber, Kim and Lohmueller:

#SMBEEverywhere G6 on Tuesday! Looking forward to report on our work with @mtakou1, Holger Schielzeth, Kim Steige #SMBEfolks
We found that the strength of stabilizing selection associates with the amount of non-additive genetic variance in gene expression.
This matters for understanding the potential for adaptation of gene expression variation. It also shows that we are good at inferring the DFE.
The talk will be based on this preprint

One more day of #introduction, and then... we start real conversations, ok? #SMBEfolks #ESEBfolks and others.
#introduction (cont’d) These interests extend to our own social system: why is it so hard to do what is in our collective interest? How can we do better for everyone?

Migrating here from a different server, so here’s an #introduction repost:
My research focuses on #cooperation and conflict. I work with #Dictyostelium — a soil #amoeba where cells #cooperate and sacrifice to build multicellular fruiting bodies. A system where there can be a benefit to selfish behaviors. I try to understand how these amoebae make their society work. (1/2)
