How to transform UMAP from a black box into a glass box: by using a special type of deep network, we can now compute exact linear equivalents that reveal which features drive each point's position in the embedding.

I worked on a small project this weekend that bridges learning with usefulness. As mentioned in my earlier tweet, bioRxiv hosts over 311,000 manuscripts. A rapid method for identifying relevant papers would be handy.

We updated this preprint based on a bunch of awesome comments we got from too many people to name, and think it's become a much better manuscript! If you haven't taken a look yet, make sure to check out the updated version! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
I'm excited to share this new preperint with @mwpen and @DocEdge85 about the unifying mapping approaches within and between species biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Calling all evolutionary biologists and phylogenomics buffs! In our recent Open Questions pub, we ask for your thoughts on how we might improve and extend NovelTree, our workflow for scalable phylogenomic inference.
Read and reply!

Are you attending #TAGC24 and interested in comparative phylogenomics methods?
Chat with @AustinHPatton on Sat 3/9 about NovelTree, a Nextflow pipeline that outputs gene families, gene family trees, species trees, and more! 👇

It's time to stop making t-SNE & UMAP plots. In a new preprint w/ Tara Chari we show that while they display some correlation with the underlying high-dimension data, they don't preserve local or global structure & are misleading. They're also arbitrary.🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
