Happy to share that Flashzoi is now published!
We enhanced Borzoi with RoPE & FlashAttention for >3x faster training/inference & 2.4x reduction in memory usage.
This brings large-scale genomic analysis and fine-tuning within reach of academic budgets.

Exciting updates!!
(1) I just opened my lab at Boston Children’s Hospital (Harvard-affiliated)
(2) I’m hiring a postdoc focused on integrating GWAS and functional genomic data. Reach out if you’re interested or connect at ASHG next week!

Excited to share this preprint from first author Jon Rosen, a postdoctoral fellow in the @klmohlke.bsky.social lab and my lab. We examine eQTL study sample size and how this affects signal discovery and rates of colocalization with GWAS.

Higher eQTL power reveals signals that boost GWAS colocalization
Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies in human cohorts typically detect at least one regulatory signal per gene, and have been proposed as a way to explain mechanisms of genetic liability...
