Associate Prof of Genome Sciences at UW. I use population genetic models to study the origins of genetic variation and the evolution of mutational processes.
Congratulations Tom, so well deserved!!
Tom Sasani@tomsasani.bsky.social · 3mo agoExcited to announce that I'll be joining the Department of Genetics at UGA (@universityofga.bsky.social) in January! My lab will use model systems, DNA sequencing, and new computational tools to study mutation rate evolution across the tree of life.

Estimation of demography and mutation rates from one million haploid genomes
Samples of millions of genomes provide substantial information about recent demography and mutation, but standard population-genetic methods make assumptions not met in these data. We introduce DR EVI...

A signature-agnostic test for differences between tumor mutation spectra reveals carcinogen and ancestry effects
Mutational signatures contain valuable information about the mutational processes shaping cancer genomes. However, despite dozens of tools to identify signatures in cancer samples, there is not an est...
