Huge thanks to @kauralasoo.bsky.social who stepped up with baby in his arms to lead the discussion of a complex JC paper picked and co-prepared with Maris.
Brilliant science, collaboration, real kindness, stepping up for each other, and family first. We need more role models like this. 🫶
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.
We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.

Our paper on detecting GWA signals from neural networks is now published. Here we propose a model- and score-agnostic post hoc framework to detect potentially associated loci from neural networks trained for phenotype prediction.
