Super excited to announce our latest work. On a personal note, it's not an exaggeration to say that blood, sweat, and tears got us to the finish line on this: working w/ an outstanding global team of scientists in Germany, Japan, Russia, and USA responding in >100 pages of complex reviewer comments.

Finally out! We present EXTRA-seq, a new EXTended Reporter Assay to quantify endogenous enhancer-promoter communication at kb scale! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A 🧵about what it can do: #SynBio #DeepLearning #GeneRegulation

Wonderful. Just two weeks ago I was explaining to a junior colleague the problem of exaggerated claims in science. This paragraph is exactly what should be printed in place of a user agreement when anybody submits a paper.

Join us for our next Kipoi Seminar with with Dmitry Penzar, @pensarata.bsky.social @ autosome.org! 👉LegNet: parameter-efficient modeling of gene regulatory regions using modern convolutional neural network 📅Wed Dec 4, 5:30pm CET 🧬 kipoi.org/seminar/

(1/6) 🐦‍🔥 In IBIS #ibischallenge, we challenged teams from all over the world to decipher the DNA recognition code of human transcription factors. The IBIS Final Conference took place on November 27, 2024. Recordings and slides: disk.yandex.ru/d/82FEnwPn15...

Excited to share our latest preprint on scE2G – a new model to link enhancers to target genes using single-cell data – with state-of-the-art performance across multiple perturbation benchmarks. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... Read more below! 1/12

Really nice overview and systematization of things done in the area. I found a few works in there that I've completely missed

New on BioRxiv: We report a new, endogenous molecular clock in unmodified human cells and tissues. It is ticking away right now in almost every cell in your body. Paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/

(1/8)📢Excited to announce the bioRxiv submission of my work from the past three years! Introducing meSMiLE-seq, a microfluidic assay aimed to understand how DNA modifications impact transcription factor (TF) binding, as part of the large Codebook/GRECO-BIT collab dx.doi.org/10.1101/2024... ✨🧵 ⬇️

They say science and cats should be posted here

(1/4) In IBIS (ibis.autosome.org), we challenged teams from all over the world to decipher the DNA recognition code of human transcription factors. Today, we are excited to announce the Final IBIS Conference scheduled for November 27, 2024.

(1/12) Excited to present the results of the large-scale benchmarking of DNA motif discovery tools using the Codebook data compendium on poorly studied human transcription factors and the Codebook Motif Explorer: dx.doi.org/10.1101/2024..., mex.autosome.org ⬇️.

Regulation of transcription by condensates, great review by @bsabari.bsky.social and coll. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Preprint describing the systematic identification of TF binding motifs and of TFs which preferentially bind methylated DNA. #epigenomics
