Registration is now open for our 5-day Simons workshop taking place in two months (June 10th-14th) in Berkeley (w Aditi Krishnapriyan ). AI≡Science: Strengthening the Bond Between the Sciences and Artificial Intelligence simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/aisc…

Happy to share that our paper on leveraging foundation models to foster the explainability and transparency of medical AI has been published today in Nature Medicine! Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Joins us for Machine Learning in Computational Biology (MLCB) 2024 mlcb.github.io Submission deadline: June 15 Conference dates: Sept 5 & 6

#MLCB2024 will be Sept 5-6 as a hybrid event in Seattle (nice time to be in the PNW!) with a great lineup of keynotes from Ava Amini, Maria Chikina, Jian Zhou and Nilah Ioannidis. Registration is free and submission deadline is June 15th. More deets at mlcb.github.io.

Which name do you prefer for "DNA sequence-based deep learning models" in regulatory genomics: "Sequence to Function" (S2F), "Deep Supervised Genomics Models" (DSGM), or "Deep Genomic Models" (DGMs)? If none of these appeal to you, please share your own preference!

Glad that our sequence model of promoters in human genome is now published in Science Magazine. Check out the paper for a deep dive into the sequence basis of transcription initiation at the basepair level: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

MLCB2024 abstract/paper submission deadline is coming up (June 15). mlcb.github.io Also check out the list of fantastic keynote speakers: Maria Chikina (Maria Chikina), Ava Amini (Ava Amini), Jian Zhou (Jian Zhou), Nilah Ioannidis, Sergey Ovchinnikov (Sergey Ovchinnikov)

#MLCB2024 deadline extended to June 17!!

Our commentary (with Alex Sasse Alexander Sasse and Maria Chikina Maria Chikina ) on past and future of sequence-to-function deep genomics models is online Nature Methods : nature.com/articles/s4159… Along with many thoughtful Comment Articles online today: nature.com/nmeth/articles…

We are accepting submissions for the AI for New Drug Modalities workshop at #NeurIPS 2024! Workshop website: sites.google.com/view/newmodali… Submission deadline: October 1st 2024

Four last days to register! Symposium on 9/9. We have a great lineup of speakers, plenty of time to network and registration is free. genotech.ucsf.edu/home

#MLCB2024 will be streamed live from YouTube this week (Thursday and Friday). Get the link from here: mlcb.github.io

#MLCB2024 kicks off in 22h (9am PST) with keynote from Jian Zhou on DL for transcriptional initiation! Full schedule at mlcb.github.io and public livestream at youtube.com/live/reqWvNOKl…. Please RT!

Great news: I will be starting my own group at the Center for Molecular Biology Heidelberg (ZMBH - Center for Molecular Biology Heidelberg , zmbh.uni-heidelberg.de) and the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Center for Synthetic Genomics in Heidelberg (syn-gen.de) on October 1st! 1/n

#MLCB2024 is live at youtube.com/live/GflTIcI5i… ! First up Jian Zhou on interpretable DL for transcription initiation.

Great work by Maria Chikina
