When testing a computational data analysis method: simulated data are good for checking whether the method is doing what you think it should be doing, real data for checking whether what you think it should be doing is any good.

Exited to have such a great set of speakers for Ancient genomes: perspectives on human biology and medicine The program is now online and registration is still open! registrations.hg3conferences.co.uk/hg3/frontend...
