I did not know Taylor Swift was moonlighting in soliciting contributions for fake journals!

Our first Fall #tidyomics meeting will be this Wed 10 September, early in US / noon in Europe / late in Australia. Feel free to join if you're interested in what we are doing to make omics data more amenable to tidy data analysis.
Organized with Stefano @stemang.bsky.social

How many high-impact developmental variants are we missing by relying only on adult splicing annotations?
We address this in our preprint “Aberrant splicing prediction during human organ development”: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Thrilled to announce that I’ve just opened my research lab at @helmholtz-hiri.bsky.social !
A huge thank you to my mentor Roi Avraham (and lab members!) for the incredible training and support that made this possible.
Check out my talented colleagues' study, profiling hundreds of CRISPRa-responsive regulatory elements surrounding PHOX2B, a key player in neuroblastoma, using a targeted scRNA-seq screen in a neuroblastoma cell line.

There is the obvious fraud potential, but I think something much more fundamental is going to happen, too. It will change the meaning of what a "research publication" is. The reason why people read papers is to learn something that they couldn't reproduce in seconds by pushing a few buttons.
🌟 Applications for the 2026 Leena Peltonen School of Human Genetics are open!
Back after a great 2025 edition: ~20 global leaders and ~20 PhD students shaping the future of genomics.
📅 July 26–30, 2026

🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

I am so happy to share that our paperis officially published in Cell Genomics! In this paper, we describe TESLA-seq, which combines pooled CRISPR activation with targeted single-cell RNA-seq to map enhancer-gene connections at high sensitivity.

OpenAI just released Prism, a LaTeX editor with embedded ChatGPT for free.
Writing a paper has never been easier.
Clogging the scientific publishing pipeline has never been easier.
It took me 54 seconds to write up an experiment I did not actually conduct.
