Phylogenetic conservation scores have long been used to identify selection targets in the genome. With machine learning, they take a new form and will likely grow in popularity. @apragsdale.bsky.social and I investigate their relationship with mutation rates www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Research is full of uncertainty, but every once in a while, nature works out exactly as you hypothesized. In 2019, while finishing my PhD, I pitched a bold idea in an email to @harmitmalik.bsky.social (below). Seven years later, it feels surreal to see that hypothesis become empirical reality. 🧵👇
