Science doesn’t need to be pretty and go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with someone else; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.

german elections are up. i buy into many points on the ballot (inequality, fair migration reform incl repatriation of criminals). but i particularly disagree on lumping foreigners together as a motor of crime. this group has steadily become less criminal since '93. peace and love

Super excited to announce our latest flagship model Borzoi: major props to Johannes & David Kelley et al for advancing it. It's been a long journey from our prior Enformer model into this one. A few innovations: i) longer DNA context, ii) adaptation to predict RNA-seq abundance and splice isoforms,
Predicting RNA-seq coverage from DNA sequence as a unifying model of gene regulation - Nature Genetics
Borzoi adapts the Enformer sequence-to-expression model to directly predict RNA-seq coverage, enabling the in-silico analysis of variant effects across multiple layers of gene regulation.

Gene regulation involves thousands of proteins that bind DNA, yet comprehensively mapping these is challenging. Our paper in Nature Genetics describes ChIP-DIP, a method for genome-wide mapping of hundreds of DNA-protein interactions in a single experiment.

Please Repost to spread the word! 🙏🏻
DEGU distills an ensemble of models into a single model, retaining the ensemble’s predictive performance while providing uncertainty estimates - ie both epistemic (or model) and aleatoric (or data) uncertainty.
