Inferring gene-pathway associations from consolidated transcriptome datasets: an interactive gene network explorer for Tetrahymena thermophila
Abstract. Although an established model organism, Tetrahymena thermophila remains comparatively inaccessible to high throughput screens, and alternative bi

I started this work 10 years ago as an undergrad in a "Computing for Biologists" class, and now it's finally out in the world! I'm very proud for it to be my first contributing author paper.
This work focuses on predicting and testing gene functions based on their co-expression, but there's more:

“You can get a other job, but you cannot get another soul”.
"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT.
I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up."
Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!

Had a great time talking to @atinygreencell.bsky.social abt my PhD work - small RNA transcriptome of rice gametes & zygotes. Please give his channel a follow. This podcast series of Sebastian is a great idea, and I found all previous episodes informative/inspirational. I hope mine is as well.
Tears In Rain Episode 6 is live!!
I hung out with another favorite plant biologist of mine,
@chenxinli2.bsky.social, where he regaled us with stories of his complex PhD project, pushing our understanding of the floral developmental transcriptome a bit further. Enjoy!

Grad school interview season is starting, and Sebastian's collecting biology PhD stories that I wish I had heard when I was figuring out where I should go. 🧪

Eugenicists, eat your heart out
In a @currentbiology.bsky.social paper earlier this year, led by @laurawesseldijk.bsky.social, we analysed Beethoven’s genome with a polygenic index related to musicality, as a way to communicate limits of genetic predictions at the individual level & the complexity of links between DNA & behaviour:
Notes from Beethoven’s genome
Wesseldijk et al. compare the genomic information collected from Ludwig van Beethoven with population-based datasets used to quantify musical achievement.
