New paper from my lab and @jshendure.bsky.social lab! Led by the brilliant @zukailiu.bsky.social and @cxqiu.bsky.social. We tackled how anterior and posterior progenitor cells cooperate to self-organize into an embryonic structure (termed AP-gastruloid). (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📣Excited to share my last postdoc paper with
@soumya-boston.bsky.social on eQTL mechanisms depending on where the RNA is in the cell! @broadinstitute.org @harvardmed.bsky.social
TL;DR:Early RNA eQTL variants in the nucleus and late RNA eQTL variants in the cytosol have distinct molecular mechanism🧵

Excited to tell you about VIMA (Variational Inference-based Microniche Analysis), our deep learning + stats hybrid for case-control analysis of multi-sample spatial molecular datasets. 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @soumya-boston.bsky.social @broadinstitute.org
Powerful and accurate case-control analysis of spatial molecular data with deep learning-defined tissue microniches
As spatial molecular data grow in scope and resolution, there is a pressing need to identify key spatial structures associated with disease. Current approaches often rely on hand-crafted features such...
