Thank you @stevensalzberg.bsky.social and Ela for making yesterday so special. It was fantastic to see you both again! I couldn't have asked for better advisors during my PhD journey at @hopkinsengineer.bsky.social @jhucompsci.bsky.social

Excited to share our new paper on predicting gene expression in yeast! We introduce "Shorkie," a supervised ML model that builds off a self-supervised foundation to interpret regulatory DNA.
