Merlin—rapid analysis of dense genetic maps using sparse gene flow trees

Efforts to find disease genes using high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) maps will produce data sets that exceed the limitations of current computational tools. Here we describe a new, ...

A RAG-based question-answering system for research papers using hybrid search (dense + sparse vectors).

Docker on macOS doesn't support GPU passthrough, so we run Ollama natively for Metal acceleration. Uses Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) combining dense embeddings (semantic similarity) with SPLADE sparse ...
