The best thing my PhD supervisor ever told me was: “Anyone can find a good, positive finding, that’s not the hard part. The hard part is when you figure out what’s next after you don’t get the results you wanted. That’s when you become a scientist”

The prevalence of suboptimal affinity binding sites within enhancers creates a vulnerability in genomes whereby single-nucleotide changes that optimize affinity, even slightly, can be pathogenic. doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Would you believe me if I told you that a single variant in a non-coding RNA explains ~0.5% of all undiagnosed individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in Genomics England ??? I didn’t initially either, but here is the story of RNU4-2 🧵1/9

Inspired by Lior Pachter and team's exploration of scRNA-seq pipelines, we face similar challenges in scATAC-seq, only magnified! After 5 years of tackling these inconsistencies with my advisor Junhyong Kim , Here is a summary (and some solutions😃) 1/n #Genomics #Bioinformatics

The odd sensation of returning to a place that was home. Good morning Cambridge ❤️

Otin (taas kantaa). Se että TKI rahoitus on kasvu-uralla on hieno asia mutta jos OKM:n tiedepolitiikan taso ei parane, niin on suuri vaara että lisärahoitus ei tule nostamaan Suomen tieteen tasoa. hs.fi/mielipide/art-…

I hope one day soon most (if not all) of the time we spend on writing grants get freed for actual research..

This recently published figure by Sarah Ancheta et al. is very disturbing and should lead to some deep introspection in the single-cell genomics community (I doubt it will). It demonstrates complete disagreement among 5 widely used "RNA velocity" methods 1/
