Happy to share our new preprint! 📊 We benchmarked methods for locus-level transposable element quantification in short-read scRNA-seq, using both real datasets and simulations with read-level ground truth. Huge thanks to @catavallejos.bsky.social and @antonio-scialdone.bsky.social! #TEsky

Our work with Alan O'Callaghan now published! Are you interested in how divide-and-conquer MCMC methods could speed up Bayesian inference for a high dimensional model (thousands of params) with "tall and wide" data (large p and large n)? Read our paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Scalable inference of transcriptional variability with BASiCS

BASiCS (Bayesian Analysis of Single-Cell Sequencing data) is an integrated Bayesian hierarchical model for the analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing …

@catavallejos.bsky.social kicking off our @ellis.eu summer school on ML for biology and healthcare

Very nice blog post by @ibdnathan.bsky.social, sharing his experience as an IBD researcher and patient #WorldIBDday blogs.ed.ac.uk/institute-ge...

It was a pleasure to present our collaboration with PREDICT at #ECCO2025 last week. We demonstrate subgroups of IBD patients can be characterised by distinct FC and CRP profiles, validated independently in 🇩🇰. The preprint is available here: doi.org/10.1101/2024...
