Our most recent work is now published at Nature Genetics. Epigenetic variation impacts individual differences in the transcriptional response to influenza infection. Great collab with Guillaume Bourque lab and huge congrats to the lead author @katiearacena. Link: shorturl.at/bcdBP

As my lab develops Seurat, I wanted to share some thoughts on the important Seurat and scanpy package selection preprint from Joseph Rich/Lior Pachter 🧵

SO excited to share our recent work! To better understand the molecular impacts of human genetic variation, we need models that offer access to MANY more cell types and cell states. Here, we’re using a system called heterogeneous differentiating cultures (HDCs) to do this (1/n)

Heading home from #bog24 on the overday flight (sorry to miss the last session) and here are some thoughts from this Biology of Genomes

Two excellent sets of take-home impressions from Sohini Ramachandran and Ewan Birney on #BoG24. I'm going home excited and inspired by the science presented this week. A few impressions from me 1/

2nd time at CSHL, I have some completely new work to share! very excited to hear the fascinating work from all the talented scientists and it was amazing to meet old friends and make more new friends, as always! #BoG24
