Python got bioinformatics started. Rust will scale it. 🦀 Today we released rustyomestats, our first Rust crate for genome assembly statistics. Fast. Memory safe. Built for massive genomic datasets. Crates: lnkd.in/dP88c83F GitHub: lnkd.in/dDw2KNuX Rust is the way. #RustLang #Bioinformatics

I have been compelled to withdraw a manuscript from Science Advances due to complete lack of editorial support. We have been waiting almost two full months to learn whether they even consider the work worthy of peer review. Am I an outlier here, or have others had similar experiences?

🧬 We're hiring scientists! I'm building a new team at the Generative Biology Institute, Ellison Institute of Technology Oxford, next to colleagues in AI, Robotics, and Plant Biology.

We are also considering postdoc candidates with deep perspectives on transcription factor / chromatin biology, and would like to tackle such topics using high-throughput synthetic biology approaches.

🇺🇸✈️🇮🇷 CENTCOM: During the first 100 hours of Operation Epic Fury, B-52s struck Iranian ballistic missile and command and control posts.

first order effect: US air defense assets, especially high end SAMs, being used to defend middle east assets second order: less avail for Ukraine. more effective Russian ballistic missile strikes. cruise missiles, drones not so much. third order: China laughing as US stockpiles depleted.

Can confirm: this tool is very impressive. I'm fully bought into our AI-enhanced future. We will look back on the previous epoch as if we were living in black and white. Unfortunately the planet will be metaphorically black and white, with nothing but sun-blasted stone and shrunken seas. Oh well.

I just tested q.e.d for a grant proposal and am blown away. The suggested changes are on the point and will surely help my proposal. This is amazing! @odedrechavi.bsky.social Can't wait to submit my next paper before preprint to q.e.d! 🧪

Functional modules predict cancer-relevant genetic interactions in mammalian cells

Genetic interactions can reveal gene function and identify cancer-relevant synthetic lethals, but systematic mapping in human cells is constrained by inefficient reagents, vast combinatorial search sp...

Delighted to host Traver Hart (MD Anderson Cancer Center), who delivered an engaging seminar on synthetic lethality at #HumanTechnopole. He showed how bridging #CRISPR and predictive modeling can advance design and interpretation of genetic interaction screens and inform new therapeutic strategies.
