The Lipp Lab (@lippilab.bsky.social) has uncovered how microRNAs guide the development of Purkinje cells—rare neurons tied to movement and autism.

Published in Neuron, a @cellpress.bsky.social journal, the study maps how precise timing and gene regulation shape these cells’ identity and structure.

Labeling your axes and then explaining them slowly is perhaps the biggest bang for the buck you can get for making your slides more understandable.

Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of significant hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. What key cellular functions link genetic variation to disease?

I'm very excited to present our new work combining associations and Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs! A 🧵

Thrilled to see this paper out!! 🧪

Spatial transcriptomics of brain aging and 'spatial aging clocks' identify cells that have pro-aging or pro-rejuvenating effects on their neighbors!

Huge CONGRATS to Eric Sun and all authors! Fantastic collaboration with @jameszou.bsky.social!

On the topic of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF, implemented in #RcppML among other #RStats 📦 s)

the #NSF paper by Townes & Engelhart citation #7 was great! 💯 (@lahuuki.bsky.social journal club 📹🔜!)

www.nature.com/articles/445... published in 1999 shows how NMF gets face elements unlike PCA
