Pavlos Pavlidis

Since February 2011 I'm a postdoc with Alexis Stamatakis in the Scientific Computing Group @ HITS. Our group continues the activities of the Exelixis Lab.

My research focuses on the analysis of genomic data:

Detecting positive selection in natural populations that have experienced past demographic changes.
Estimating number of species in a sample.
Inferring Genealogies.

The omega statistic for scanning for selection (new version: omegasplit)

It is able to handle missing data
It is able to handle very large amount of data (I have analyzed 400000 SNPs), by splitting the region in subparts.

msABC for seedbanks

available from here

UPDATE: now the msABC can calculate sumstats from observed ms-like data. I promise to update the manual soon. For the moment please contact me if you need some help how to use this option.

UPDATE2: for priors that need to span a large interval e.g. (1, 100000) I have implemented the logUniform prior. This is the flag -R. Check the report in the end of the msABC webpage for details.
