Nucleosome aficionados! Our new review "Nucleosome spacing across cell types, diseases, and ages" is out in NAR: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
A huge effort to pull together what we’ve learned about nucleosome spacing in many systems. Enjoy!

Very excited to share my postdoc research in the @jesserdixon.bsky.social lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social, out online at @natgenet.nature.com today! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We investigated the function of the cohesin accessory protein NIPBL, making two particularly interesting findings:
Want to interpret DNA sequence-to-function models to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms? Then this is a must read!
The abstract submission deadline is March 6.
Deadline: 28 Feb!
AlphaGenome is out in @nature.com today along with model weights! 🧬
📄 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
💻 Weights: github.com/google-deepm...
Getting here wasn’t a straight path. We discussed the story behind the model, paper & API in the following roundtable: youtu.be/V8lhUqKqzUc
Today @nature.com, it's #AlphaGenome, to decipher and determine functionality of the regulatory (very challenging) variants in our genome.
Another big step of AI for advancing life science

The new updates for Charles McAnany’s preprint “Positional Interpretation of Cis-Regulatory Code and Nucleosome Organization with Deep Learning Models” (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) are up!
We introduce PISA, a tool to visualize the cis-regulatory code. See a recap below:
