Even more excited — our paper is featured on the cover of Science Advances!
Huge thanks to @alexandrejan.bsky.social who took this incredible photo of a ctenophore (aka comb jelly) and the editors.
Here’s the cover 👇

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks. 🙂
A little late, but there is a fun new chapter in my life!
I joined Longzhi Tan's lab at Stanford Neurobiology in November, and am now working on single-cell 3D architecture, neurodegeneration, and aging. Excited to bring a comparative genomics perspective to these topics. 🧬

When you zoom out from individual genes to consider the context of whole chromosomes across animal diversity, animal evolution takes on a different look. Oleg Simakov and I published a review in @annualreviews.bsky.social on topological approaches in comparative genomics. 🧬 doi.org/10.1146/annu...
Final version @nature.com of our paper describing unconventional multicellular development in a choanoflagellate inhabiting an extreme environment. A ton of new data since the first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint (which we've kept updating).
A brief 🧵 (carried over from the old place)
Deleted my data and account. I've had a paid OpenAI account for years.
Will be using other tools. LLMs have been fantastic for research and software development, but this is too much.
I'm actively developing a Python 3 rewrite that will be installable via PyPI and conda. The goal is to make Dip-C even easier to use!
One thing I'm doing since joining the Tan Lab @ Stanford is working on the computational stack of 3D genome research. I put Dip-C v1.0 out as a release! This is an archive of the original Python 2 code from the single-cell 3D genomes in Science, Nat Struct Mol Biol, and Cell (2018–2023). 🧬
