@maxlibbrecht, @rachelcwchan and @michaelhoffman just submitted a review of segmentation and genome annotation (SAGA) algorithms such as Segway and ChromHMM. Check out the preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2101.00688
New preprint from my student Faezeh Bayat on variance-stabilized units for sequencing-based genomics assays! We found that currently-used log and arcsinh transformations do not correctly stabilize variance and developed a method called VSS that does so. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
