After 4y in the making, I am super excited that my main PhD project is published 🎉🥳🎉🎉🥳 https://t.co/LCL2Dj1SOK LEMUR is a tool to analyze multi-condition single-cell data and model differential expression as a continuous function of the cell-state space. Some highlights⬇️

I'm very thankful to everyone involved in the study! The project would not have been possible without my co-firsts @KfdG_1236 and @hyobin_jeong and co-lasts Andreas Trumpp, @JanKorbel5 and @ash_d_sanders 🍾🎉🥳 5/5

In another patient with paired pre- and post-treatment samples, two distinct subclones persisted post venetoclax-based treatment. Both had subclone-specific mechanisms to further resistance: a shift toward MEP-like cells and NF1 loss. Go and read more about the other cases! 📜4/5

For example, in one patient the sublclone driving relapse had a seismic amplification, upregulated DNA damage response and it also engrafted in mice. We could even see cell-to-cell differences in the copy-number states of the seismic amplification! 🌋3/5

We integrated single-cell resolution structural variants, nucleosome occupancy, gene expression and surface proteins to study subclonal growth patterns in complex karyotype AML patient samples 🧬 2/5

Extremely proud to see my PhD project exploring intra-tumor heterogeneity in complex karyotype AML finally out in @NatureGenet ! 🎉👩🏻‍🔬 They say that 10,000 hours make you an expert, so I guess after more than five years of work I’m half-way there 😅 ⬇️1/5 https://t.co/xe0WrtSRse

There's a lot of excitement about foundation models and their ability to learn biology 🧬💻 But current tools for perturbation prediction perform worse than simple linear models! We need more careful benchmarking to make progress. https://t.co/lTJM7ghk2r

Just uploaded a new version of the LEMUR manuscript https://t.co/6cFvXqQfZ6 🎉🥳 LEMUR disentangles observed and latent factors of multi-condition single-cell data and finds groups of cells with consistent differential expression for each gene. Details on the changes ⬇️

Incredibly proud to see our benchmark of single-cell preprocessing methods finally published 🥳🥳🎉 We show that despite its theoretical limitations, no other transformation consistently outperforms log(y/s+1). All details at https://t.co/0caikoVmBa and https://t.co/X61ICd6sao
