@niklaskemp.bsky.socialI'm very excited to share the preprint of the central project of my postdoc, titled "Sequence-to-function deep learning decodes human cis-regulatory evolution" available today on BioRxiv. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostThere is widespread homology across our genomes. How does this impact genomics models? Major update to our preprint! 🎉 We tested more models and more tasks; the overall findings were robust, but one conclusion on how future models should be trained differs⚠️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Show PostVery proud of this and so cool that enhancer-level models can predict the effect of genetic variation. There is so much personal variation in terms of gene regulation in the human brain, it is fantastic to uncover this thanks to technology (whole-genome sequencing and single-cell multiomics) and AI
Show PostHappy to share our new preprint on non-coding genetic variation in the human brain and Parkinson's disease. Great team effort with @alexanrna.bsky.social, @juliedeman.bsky.social, Koen Theunis, and all co-authors, supervised by @steinaerts.bsky.social and @jdemeul.bsky.social. Thread below:
