I am happy and proud that our DANIO-CODE @daniocode paper is finally out in Nature Genetics @NatureGenet! I wish to say thank you to everyone who helped and supported our work up until now, with the hope we can continue to deliver in the future as well! https://t.co/HRhwkmMnHd

Can we build multimodal models by simply aligning pretrained unimodal models with limited paired data? We introduce STRUCTURE 🏗️: a lightweight, plug-and-play regularizer that preserves latent geometry to align frozen unimodal models using <1% of paired data typically used in

Why are there intronic reads in your bulk RNA-seq data? You're not alone—it's common, and the reasons are more layered than you think. Let’s break it down. 🧵

New lab preprint - an awesome collaboration with @jjtenagu lab and @A_RuizHerrera and @malmuedocas labs is just out - check out the regulatory dynamics of zebrafish spermatogenesis 👇
Ever wondered how sperm are formed? Spermatogenesis is a microscopic marathon that starts in the testes and ends with fully functional sperm! Our new preprint https://t.co/WQZkUKSiP9 takes a deep dive into zebrafish spermatogenesis, mapping out every fascinating step. 🧵👇 1/7

Congrats @JM_Gahan !!! Highly recommended positions in a good group! Also, Nematostella is a very cool model to work with!
Very happy to have been awarded this grant along with 3 (yes 3) of my @CCB_Galway colleagues. This grant will allow me to start working on Nematostella again and I am actively looking for PhD students and Postdocs.

Suuuuuuuper excited to see our work on the transcriptional dynamics of TEs across mammalian embryos finally out on @CellCellPress ! Short version: from rabbits, to cows, to pigs, to mice and even monkeys... TEs of all classes and ages are transcriptionally activated at ZGA ⚡
Very excited that our paper is now online! https://t.co/btukyGSKHJ Long thread on our findings on the other app 🦋
