New preprint! Our workflow for processing single cell and nuclei data, called 🎉 scprocess 🎉 We have been working on it for ~18 months now, over which time we have processed at least 2k samples with it, so it has had a decent amount of testing.
I'm happy to share that our gReLU package is now published in Nature Methods!

Agents for comp bio are advancing rapidly, but evals are lagging. Current benchmarks can be overly prescriptive. Full analysis vignettes are hard to verify. We introduce CompBioBench: 100 diverse, challenging, verifiable tasks. We benchmark Codex and Claude Code.
