Today I was happy to present Corgi at the @broadinstitute.org Broad Institute at the ML in Drug Discovery Symposium.

If you want to use it for predicting genomic tracks, Corgi is now published on GitHub: github.com/ekinda/corgi

It's conference week in Cambridge. Yesterday I presented Corgi in the MIT/MGB AI Cures conference, and today I'm at the Broad Institute for the Variant to Function conference.

Looking forward to spending the next couple of months at MIT, collaborating with @bergerlab.bsky.social on deep learning methods in computational biology!

I will present my recent work Corgi, a context-aware sequence-to-activity model, at the IMSB/ECCB 2025 next week at the RegSys track.

Send me a message if you want to meet!

New preprint alert!

Corgi imitates cellular gene regulation and integrates DNA sequence and trans-regulator information.

This allows Corgi to make accurate predictions in unseen cell types. Also, it can simulate trans-regulator perturbations in silico.
