I'll be at the AI Virtual Cells and Instruments: A New Era in Drug Discovery and Development. Stop by to chat about generative models and virtual cells! I'll be presenting our work @biohub.org on a scalable latent diffusion model for single-cell gene expression data.

As more single-cell perturbation data become available, it is crucial to establish a consensus on measures of success for perturbation prediction models. I reviewed recent literature and collected some thoughts on the current state of affairs. open.substack.com/pub/giovanni...

Virtual Cell Perturbation Metrics Reloaded

Thoughts on metrics for perturbation prediction models

Yesterday, we released a new paper on a novel architecture for single-cell genomics. We call it scLDM to hint at the Latent Diffusion Model paradigm, a generative modeling framework that has been very successful across various domains.

Excited to see a home for MCP servers in bioinformatics emerge! The community needs a central hub for developing MCP servers for key bioinfo tools. At @scverse.bsky.social we're contributing to this effort - can't wait to share what we're building

🚀 NEW PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT: Agentic Workflows in Bioinformatics at scverse 2025! 🚀 We're thrilled to introduce an exciting panel discussion at the upcoming scverse Conference 2025! More information in 🧵 #scverse2025 #Bioinformatics #AgenticAI #Conference

Happy to share CellAnnotator, a lightweight Python package to query OpenAI models for initial cell type annotations: github.com/quadbio/cell... Inspired by ideas in www.nature.com/articles/s41... and github.com/VPetukhov/GP..., implemented as an scVerse ecosystem package with docs and tutorials.

GitHub - quadbio/cell-annotator: Automatically annotate cell types, consistently across samples.

Our paper benchmarking feature selection for scRNA-seq integration and reference usage is out now www.nature.com/articles/s41...! Keep reading for more about how we did the study and what we found out 🧵 👇 1/16

A pre-trained SCVI model of our Tahoe-100M cell atlas is now available as a HubModel! It can be used for gene expression visualization, differential expression, or cell clustering. Available at Hugging Face with instructions on how to load it (see thread)
