So excited to see CellOracle out!! Congratulations @kenjikamimoto68!!

[Samantha Morris @morris_lab]

At last! Happy to share our paper on CellOracle – a computational method for dissecting cell identity via network inference and in silico gene perturbation, led by the amazing @kenjikamimoto68: https://t.co/1km6dQIMmY

Scientist position in Genomics technology lab at Calico open! It's a unique opportunity for an innovative scientist to study aging across a huge variety of contexts and models with 5 alarm technology.

We have a new version of this preprint! There are 2 key changes - we now show that scMPRA works in mouse retina (!), and we finally implemented the second U6 transcript to detect unexpressed promoters. Siqi worked really hard on this so please check it out 🙂

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

@morris_lab Hehehe. It arrived early! I was planning to surprise you by messaging you tomorrow. (Two copies to double the weight of the surprise 😝)

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

@morris_lab @cadyyuheng We were delighted 🤣

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

We reunited at ISSCR and found @morris_lab “on-site”. @cadyyuheng #ISSCR2022

Very excited to talk about this collaborative work @morris_lab! We will have Capybara take us on a journey through some interesting biological systems!!

[Samantha Morris @morris_lab]

The Capybara whisperer @WenjunK will be speaking about measuring hybrid cell identity and state transitions in reprogramming (and our new favorite paradigm, hematopoiesis) on Monday!

@morris_lab @rockwellbeer Otis has a proper and fitting bandanna!!

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

Super excited to get hooded by @morris_lab!!! Now we are pros for the attire 😆!

[Samantha Morris @morris_lab]

Dr. Kong @WenjunK is graduating! We are feeling extra fancy today

[Adam MacLean @adamlmaclean]

Well, I never expected to write “giant rodent bouncer” in a scientific perspective piece, but here we are. My thoughts on Capybara for cell identity profiling 👇

Congrats @WenjunK @EstebanMazzoni @morris_lab et al!

[Stem Cell Podcast @stemcellpodcast]

Dr. Wenjun Kong (@WenjunK) and a group in the @Morris_Lab developed a new computational tool called Capybara that can measure cell identity and fate transitions. 🔮

@kjkjindal @samhegde2006 @david_r_glass @morris_lab @CellStemCell @cadyyuheng @EstebanMazzoni @bioyangxue Lolol I will try my best!

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

So mixed feelings watching our dearest capybara finally out in the world. It is still a baby but a strong independent one, built by collaborative forces in the @morris_lab! Hope it grows better with more real world problems! May Capy be treated with gentle, love, and critiques!

Our latest paper is online @CellStemCell! Capybara: A computational tool to measure cell identity and fate transitions https://t.co/oO78go18Qz led by @WenjunK

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

Thanks a bunch to everyone who came to my defense today!! It has been a long and amazing journey. And this is truly a lovely and big reveal/surprise! Special thanks and shout out to our amazing PI @morris_lab! I can’t be more fortunate to be a part of this lovely team!

[Samantha Morris @morris_lab]

Congratulations Dr. Kong! @WenjunK

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

@mle_butka I believe you guys will go well-beyond this! 💪

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

@morris_lab :happy_colin: Capy feels loved

[Wenjun Kong @WenjunK]

So happy to share and talk about Capy! Thanks @morris_lab and @Stowers_SRC for the chance to talk about Capy/Colin - Colin is making baby steps to get into the world!

[Samantha Morris @morris_lab]

I have a fantastic transatlantic talk partner in @WenjunK - and thanks for introducing Colin to the world 😂
