Cool new bioRxiv from friend and fellow UCSF graduate student Bryan Marsh on everyone's favorite alien pancake, the #placenta! Glad someone's taking a stand and not dismissing the smooth chorion :) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In 2018, we developed mux-seq and demuxlet to enable population-scale single-cell sequencing. Today, excited to share our paper in Science Magazine where we deployed mux-seq to profile 1.2M immune cells from 162 lupus patients and 99 healthy controls: science.org/doi/full/10.11…. 1/n

I've learned many things in the last year, but einsum is hands down the most important coding tool I've picked up recently youtube.com/watch?v=pkVwUV…

Canonical Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish is here! Download it here now! ubuntu.com/download/deskt…

People don't realize how important it is to have a mantra to whisper while doing bioinformatics. Here's mine:

My second PhD paper is out! Check it out to learn about some cool human development and astrocyte biology 🥳

Big presence from my grad program at #ISSCR2022. Couldnt even wrangle them all together for a pic. Best Developmental and Stem Cell Program in the world, might be biased though. #ucsf #ISSCR2022 #stemcell #gradschool #phdlife

I didn't know Elon Musk has a beagle and decided to donate some fibroblasts to science. Sounds cute

Scoop: Stanford biology professor Hunter Fraser was arrested and charged with domestic violence. Fraser allegedly threw a woman on the ground and later slammed a door into her, court records show. Fraser pleaded not guilty. The Stanford Daily stanforddaily.com/2022/10/04/sta…

Excited to finally release the bioRxiv of my first ever first author paper! 🚨🥳🥳🚨biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Any enhancer lovers in the feed!?! You know what time it is-- We're going deep! ./tweetorial.sh👇🧵

What an amazing moment, UPS solidarity with the UC strike at UCSF

A short review/opinion I wrote with Alex Pollen, "identifying large-effect mutations–should they exist–and defining the effect size distribution for a measurable phenotype are central challenges facing genetic studies of human evolution” sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We investigate cellular differences between humans and chimpanzees using CRISPRi-based genetic screens sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We're extremely excited to dive deep on whale brains! Thank to the Keck Foundation for believing in a project that isn't traditionally "fundable". Also thank you to Alex Pollen, Robin Baird from Cascadia and Barbie Halaska from The Marine Mammal Center , without whom we wouldn't have even begun!
