Here is the transcriptomics insight: the bulk RNA-seq (Fig 1), single-cell RNA-seq (Fig. 2), spatial transcriptomics (Fig. 3), and the original organ (Fig. 4). (Feel free to cite with image credit to Bo Xia)

In this blog post, we show how chromatin accessibility can be profiled with minimal processing using nanopore sequencing – preserving native structure and capturing rich signal. Read it here: epi2me.nanoporetech.com/chromatin-acc-…

Preprint on "Improving spliced alignment by modeling splice sites with deep learning". It describes minisplice for modeling splice signals. Minimap2 and miniprot now optionally use the predicted scores to improve spliced alignment. arxiv.org/abs/2506.12986

Our latest paper is out in its final form in The Plant Cell We show that in plants the same DNA sequence can act as an insulator or silencer depending on the surrounding regulatory context. Read the full paper at: doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

I'M BLOWN AWAY. Andrej Karpathy just explained Software 3.0 at YC. BIG IDEAS: English is coding. AI is electricity. And, build for LLMs, not just people. Key takeaways:

Part 2 of my series on the shifting DNA sequencing landscape is out🧬 I explore the 3 major emerging sequencing platforms: Roche's SBX, Oxford Nanopore, and PacBio's HIFI This next phase invites new technical/philosophical questions on completeness, interpretation & application

Will we ever get an updated Oxford Nanopore ASIC? The launch of the mk1d with nothing but improved temperature control and USB-C makes it clear that it is not any time soon...
