Our single-nucleus immune multiome atlas is now out in @Nature! 🧬
10M PBMCs from 1,108 @FinnGen_FI donors recruited by @FRCBSresearch, profiled at @broadinstitute KCO with chromatin accessibility and gene expression in the same nuclei, to trace how disease variants act 🧵👇
🚀 New preprint!
The Human Cytokine Dictionary - 9.7M cells, 12 donors, 90 cytokines - our largest human single-cell perturbation atlas yet. Users can map cytokine activity in their own data. Huge thanks to Lukas, Sören, Larsen, Parse Bio & Seelig lab!

Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend!
These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history:
3.3: Inferring human prehistory from genetic data [this thread]
3.4: Ancient DNA [next thread]

Thrilled to announce that I’m joining @PurdueStats and @PurdueBiolSci as a tenure-track assistant professor! Excited for the journey ahead and to contribute to such a vibrant academic community.
In today's Cell, we propose a “developmental constraint” model whereby cancer cell state plasticity is restricted by the organism’s developmental map to access progenitor-like states and differentiated-like states of adjacent lineages.🧵⬇️

Our new method, TDEseq has been published on @GenomeBiology. It primarily builds upon a linear additive mixed model framework to facilitate the detection of four potential temporal gene expression patterns, i.e., growth, recession, peak, or trough. https://t.co/Gjg4lJ7elI

🎉Exciting Update of scGPT 🎉: After receiving significant attention from the community since our April release, we're thrilled to announce the first major update for scGPT - a foundation model for single-cell multi-omic data.
This update integrates community feedback and leverages the latest data release from @cellxgene. It boasts larger pretraining data, and more robust models, and expands the range of application tasks.
Pre-print (V2) available: https://t.co/4aB2c4ZgJy
Access our open-source code and models here: https://t.co/13n0bJvgT2
Detailed tutorials: https://t.co/enNqXqXkdY
Highlights of this update include:
🔬 Introducing the first GPT-style foundation model for single-cell multi-omic data, pretrained on over 33M human cell atlas data.
💡 Our generalist approach enables one model to accomplish multiple tasks in single-cell analysis, including multi-omic integrative analysis and perturbation prediction.
🧬 Discovering gene-gene interactions specific to various conditions using learned attention weights and gene embeddings.
🚀 Uncovered a scaling law showcasing continuous model performance enhancement as data volume increases.
🐾 scGPT model zoo (see github) now offers multiple pre-trained foundation models for various solid organs and a comprehensive pan-cancer model. Begin exploring your data with the most fitting foundation model.
We welcome your thoughts on specialist vs generalist approaches in single-cell studies. Many thanks for the following technical analyses of scGPT:

Major, fatal errors found in the data and methods of a 2020 paper in @Nature, including millions of reads mis-identified as bacteria. The "cancer microbiome" in this study was simply not there. @abrahamgihawi@elapertea@YuchenGe1@JenniferLu717 https://t.co/z5Aja84kiR
