Bayesian Coalescent Inference of Past Population Dynamics from Molecular Sequences
We introduce the Bayesian skyline plot, a new method for estimating past population dynamics through time from a sample of molecular sequences without dependence on a prespecifi...
IDBA-UD: a <i>de novo</i> assembler for single-cell and metagenomic sequencing data with highly uneven depth
Abstract Motivation: Next-generation sequencing allows us to sequence reads from a microbial environment using single-cell sequencing or metagenomic sequencing technologies. How...
Digital game-based learning

Cases in which Parsimony or Compatibility Methods will be Positively Misleading
For some simple three- and four-species cases involving a character with two states, it is determined under what conditions several methods of phylogenetic inference will fail t...
Convergence Results for Neural Networks via Electrodynamics
We study whether a depth two neural network can learn another depth two network using gradient descent. Assuming a linear output node, we show that the question of whether gradi...
