1/🧵Excited to re-introduce Memento in (https://t.co/mxycmsOTkr), a scalable method for differential analysis of scRNA-seq data. It provides first-in-class performance in statistical power and calibration for comparing differences in mean, variability, and gene correlation.👇

Thinking about a PhD using computational power to answer pressing problems in biology and health? @UCSF Biological and Medical Informatics PhD program is recruiting for Fall 2025! Join our info session next Monday Oct 21: https://t.co/jLMUwigeI1.

[Nadav Ahituv @NadavAhituv]

Very cool work by @YinShenLab showing how allelic compensation can be used as a regulatory compensation mechanism. https://t.co/xPclCBMkJJ

[Nadav Ahituv @NadavAhituv]

Beautiful work by @KarissaLHansen and @ElphegeNoraLab on the role of cohesin in enhancer-promoter interactions.
Synergy between cis-regulatory elements can render cohesin dispensable for distal enhancer function https://t.co/9kMAY5T3iP

Beyond stoked to share our latest, entitled “Diversified, miniaturized and ancestral parts for mammalian genome engineering and molecular recording” !

[Diego Calderon (diegoisworking@bluesky) @diegoisworking]

Incredibly proud to share that I recently joined @UCSF_BTS @UCSF as an Assistant Professor! This means that the Calderon Lab is now open!

Or, more accurately, in the process of opening as I am still unboxing equipment and unraveling giant posters (a last @JSHendure lab gift) 🥳

[Nadav Ahituv @NadavAhituv]

It was a lot of fun doing this! Thanks so much @patrick_j_short for hosting me!

An experimental census of retrons, now published in @NatureBiotech. We synthesized more than a hundred new retrons and put them through their paces, improved recombineering rates and precise editing in human cells up to 40%. https://t.co/OoJWUMC9MU

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

We are recruiting two computational biologists/bioinformaticians with ML expertise and a focus on genomics, variant effects and gene regulatory sequences in staff scientist and postdoc roles in Lübeck, Germany. Please find details here: https://t.co/GbfuDN3gha

[Jesse Engreitz @jengreitz]

Excited to share the white paper for the IGVF Consortium, supported by @genome_gov
