Tessa Ferrari from Dr. Jazlyn Mooney's Lab Published a Paper

QCB student Tessa Ferrari (left) from Dr. Jazlyn Mooney's (right) lab published a paper titled “Parameter Scaling in Population Genetics Simulations may Introduce Unintended Background Selection: Considerations for Scaled Simulation Design” in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution. The study reveals that strongly scaled simulations may introduce major biases in the models and offer potential strategies for the mitigation of scaling effects. Read the paper here.
