Yesterday, we released a new paper on a novel architecture for single-cell genomics. We call it scLDM to hint at the Latent Diffusion Model paradigm, a generative modeling framework that has been very successful across various domains.

Excited to see a home for MCP servers in bioinformatics emerge! The community needs a central hub for developing MCP servers for key bioinfo tools. At @scverse.bsky.social we're contributing to this effort - can't wait to share what we're building

Happy to share CellAnnotator, a lightweight Python package to query OpenAI models for initial cell type annotations: github.com/quadbio/cell...

Inspired by ideas in www.nature.com/articles/s41... and github.com/VPetukhov/GP..., implemented as an scVerse ecosystem package with docs and tutorials.

A pre-trained SCVI model of our Tahoe-100M cell atlas is now available as a HubModel! It can be used for gene expression visualization, differential expression, or cell clustering. Available at Hugging Face with instructions on how to load it (see thread)
