“There were some cells in there that were very messed up”

In a technological tour-de-force, researchers have sequenced the whole genomes of more than 100 individual cells from one 74-year-old man

We are all mosaics: vast genetic diversity found between cells in a single person
Technical advances allow researchers to trace the genetic changes that occur over time.

🚨 Excited to share our paper 📢 @natcomms.nature.com
We reveal how inflammation reshapes the human #bonemarrow niche 🦴, home of 🩸 stem cells, in the context of #clonalhematopoiesis and #myelodysplasia

An amazing journey with fantastic colleagues and collaborators, thank you all!

Pre-print alert! And this one really is a must read for anyone that does spectral #flowcytometry. It is a complete, fully-automated spectral unmixing pipeline that reduces error up to 9000-fold.

New “discrete state” model of hematopoiesis published in Nature Immunology. rdcu.be/eL8oO
We propose a hierarchical model of hematopoiesis where stable “discrete states” serve as key regulatory nodes.
A unified multimodal single-cell framework reveals a discrete state model of hematopoiesis in mice
Nature Immunology - Grimes and colleagues integrate multiomic features to create a framework that allows the isolation of discrete cell states across hematopoiesis and exploit the underlying gene...

Been digging through GEO for multiome single-cell data, frustrating how much is unusable 🫠 (missing annotations, frag files, raw data). Uploading properly takes effort, but it makes your dataset so much more impactful... Props to (most of) the authors who fixed things when I reached out, though 👍

Our paper benchmarking foundation models for perturbation effect prediction is finally published 🎉🥳🎉

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We show that none of the available* models outperform simple linear baselines. Since the original preprint, we added more methods, metrics, and prettier figures!

The Commission is pushing for a massive increase in funding for Horizon Europe 2028-2034. If I understand correctly, Pillar I, which includes @erc.europa.eu and Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowships, would go from the current €25 billion to €44 billion. Let's hope it happens!
