“We fundamentally believe that publishing less – but better – is essential for the health of the entire research system worldwide,” the authors of the report state.
Less is more: academic publishing needs ‘radical change,’ Cambridge press report concludes
Academic publishing needs “renewed focus and collective action” to embrace new approaches and ensure the future of the industry, concludes a report from Cambridge University Press, released last we…

1/ Why are eukaryotic gene regulatory networks (GRNs) so much more complex than prokaryotic ones?
In our new preprint, we investigated the role that recombination – a key step in eukaryotic reproductive strategies – plays in this problem! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Evolutionary simulations reveal role for genomic recombination in the evolution of gene regulatory network complexity and robustness
The gene regulatory networks (GRNs) of eukaryotes are dramatically more complex than the GRNs of prokaryotes, but we lack a complete picture of the selective pressures that have shaped this difference...

SOOOO MANY GENOMICS MODELSSSS! 😱 Often unclear which is best since they benchmark differently! In this preprint, we introduce GAME, a new framework that utilizes APIs to enable sustainable, uniform model evaluation so we can see which is actually best for each task. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Clone bunch of gRNAs in one go! 🚀
Multiplexed CRISPR-Cas9 is driving next-gen functional genomics: think gene regulation, base editing, and combinatorial screens. However, efficiently delivering many gRNAs simultaneously into cells remains tricky. One elegant solution? gRNA arrays... (1/11)

Latest preprint from the lab describing a super fast way to clone arrays of CRISPR guide RNAs. If you want to target multiple sites simultaneously, and want fast iteration on building and testing arrays of guides, look no further!
Bonus: it's named after a Pokemon🔥🦄

0/ Essential reading for anyone training or using sequence-function models trained on genomic sequences! 🚨 In our new preprint, we explore the ways homology within genomes can cause leakage when training sequence-based models and ways to prevent it

Beware! AAV libraries prone to length & homology dependent chimerism! Our latest preprint, from the brilliant @jblalanne.bsky.social‬, was a true surprise as related phenomena are textbook for lentivirus (highly relevant to HIV & Perturb-seq) yet to our reading not known for AAV tinyurl.com/5amc562a
