Excited to share Minerva, our approach using genome language models for biological discovery! Using Minerva, we find that UG27 reverse transcriptase systems encode variable arrays of diverse ncRNAs with a shared structure, each templating a short DNA hairpin. With @garykbrixi.

We found a surprisingly large technical artifact hiding in a widely-used scRNA-seq technology.

In all Flex v1 datasets we’ve analyzed, we see hundreds of DE genes between probe set barcodes.

More on why this matters and what to do about it below:

🚨 New preprint 🚨

We introduce Generative Distribution Embeddings (GDEs) — a framework for learning representations of distributions, not just datapoints.

GDEs enable multiscale modeling and come with elegant statistical theory and some miraculous geometric results!

@njwfish just publish them in nature what's the issue

Every day, UPS drivers deliver a quarter of the U.S.'s parcels out of trucks without air conditioning.

As they vote on whether to authorize a massive strike later this summer, heat has become a crucial sticking point. First story for @washingtonpost:

“The Backstreets” is the first Uyghur-language novel to be translated into English. Perhat Tursun’s writing starkly portrays the weight of Chinese state violence on Uyghur souls https://t.co/QsHNFmolL0

With its sprawling acreage, Memphis tends to rank low in surveys of U.S. cities with affordable housing shortages. But a closer look shows that housing stock isn't just a matter of quantity. Story for @DailyMemphian:

After a six-week abortion ban took effect in Tennessee, Memphis residents likely have to travel more than 200 miles to seek care in Illinois — something Biden's executive order doesn't change. First story for @DailyMemphian:

100 years before Brown vs Board of Education, a 5 year old Black girl Sarah Roberts attempted to go to her elementary school classroom in Boston before being escorted out by a police officer.

An article I wrote for The Emancipator on an ideological battle over education.
