@wayomayo.bsky.socialSo excited to build this with @mweber.bsky.social and @hattaca.bsky.social ! Together we’re combining geometric AI, multi-species genomics, and human cardiac organoids to ask why some animals regenerate their hearts and we can’t. Grateful to #Googleorg for the support. #AIforScience
Show PostReally happy to seeing work work finally out in @nature.com today 🙌🚀
Show PostThrilled to see this published today! Truly special because we made the initial discovery >15 yrs ago! We found two copies of a human gene called BC200 embedded in a human poxvirus. BC200 blurs the line between gene & transposon—both functional & mutagenic! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/n
Show PostDelighted to share our first preprint of the lab! We introduce TEgment, a new RNA-seq pipeline that classifies TE expression into distinct structural modalities, distinguishing functional TE activity from transcriptional noise! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostBig day for transposon biology! (two paper thread) #mustread www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
