Q for aDNA folks: have your libraries become shorter? In our team and one independent team sequenced reads became on average 15bp shorter (70->55bp; n > 400) in just one year in very comparable materials. What might be going on?

Of the 9506 species in our vast tree of life, 3466 were sequenced from #herbarium specimens, some nearly 200 years old like this Arenaria globiflora collected by Nathaniel Wallich in the #Himalayas. #Herbaria are new frontiers for #genomic research!

In their Specious Art paper, Chari & @lpachter claim that tSNE/UMAP are as arbitrary as a random elephant shape. But are they?
We show in our comment that this is false and throws the tSNE/UMAP baby out with the bathwater!
Details in 🧵& paper:

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/…
