I am excited to share that moslin, our work on single-cell lineage tracing, is out in Genome Biology! We use lineage tracing barcodes to relate cells across time points in an OT framework to study cellular state changes in development and regeneration doi.org/10.1186/s13059…

Is ur #singlecell research hitting a wall with journal rejections? Looking for the best way to get ur paper accepted & published in a good journal? Let’s talk about common pitfalls & ensure ur science (& u!) make a lasting impact! #scRNAseq #transcriptomics #genomics

Single-cell biologists, are you looking for a faster way to annotate cells in your scRNA-seq experiments? Try a tool developed by Broad researchers that reduces that task from hours to minutes. Learn more about the Cell Annotation Service, now in beta. broad.io/CAS-News

Excited to share CpGPT, a new foundation model for DNA methylation, crafted to understand the 'language' of epigenetics! 🧬🤖 What’s CpGPT? CpGPT is a transformer model pre-trained on CpGCorpus, a huge dataset of public DNA methylation info. By integrating sequence, positional,

A big day for #spatial #omics of cancer, tracing the precise origin and evolution of 20 types of cancer, many in 3D, in about 2,000 individuals, with 12 publications Collection: nature.com/immersive/d428…

when you get a tough question after your talk but you have the perfect supplementary slide

How do mitochondria, the cell’s energy-producing organelles, perform competing metabolic processes? Segregation into distinct populations — one that makes energy-storing ATP molecules and one that does not — could explain it nature.com/articles/d4158…

WOOO!

Over the last decade, I have consistently observed people w/ a science background try to recreate an academic environment within for-profit companies. I get the motivation, but this is counterintuitive. As an employee at a company, your activities should eventually be tied to

me leaving a zoom meeting to which i contributed nothing

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself." Earlier that day:

Being an academic means asking the tough questions, like "why did I agree to this?" and "what was I thinking?"

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Nothing drains a high performer faster than realizing their reward for excellence is cleaning up someone else’s incompetence.

We’re delighted that Arpita Kulkarni (Associate Director, Single-Cell Core, Harvard Medical School) will be joining #FOGBoston to discuss the current challenges and innovations of integrating #singlecell and #spatial effectively. Register here: hubs.la/Q03fg0nH0

A poor working relationship with a supervisor or manager can result in lost opportunities, creating an unexplained gap in an early-career researcher’s publication record go.nature.com/4i98orU

Academic rivalries are valuable because they’re the only ones reading your work

New in Nature Biotechnology: a team led by scientists at MSK and University of Toronto have developed a new platform to facilitate the study of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) across hundreds of species of plants, insects, and animals. Learn more: go.nature.com/4l3LYtI nature.com/articles/s4158…

What is the role of the laboratory scientist in the era of AI? In our latest report, Arpita Kulkarni (Director of the Functional Genomics & Bioinformatics Core, @Harvardmed) maps out the task of #multiomics data generation in the digital age. Download: hubs.la/Q03Vsmqv0
