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. 🧵

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
