- 🔥A very cool piece from Alexander Theus and team is finally on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2506.22712 Ever wondered if you can linearly interpolate between transformers and still get a working model? Now you know how. A breakthrough! 🚀
- 🚨 New preprint out! We studied deep learning models for high-resolution DNA accessibility prediction from DNA sequence! Key takeaway: ConvNeXt V2 blocks consistently boost accuracy. 📖 Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🔗Code: github.com/BoevaLab/ASAP 📦 pip install atac-asap

- Reposted by Valentina BoevaThe Americans are doing to Kseniia what the Russians did to Brittney Griner for having 0.7 grams of cannabis oil. Except no one is coming to negotiate her freedom and Harvard is sitting on their hands. I am so ashamed. Please share this story. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...
- 🥳🔥Our study is out in Genome Biology! Conventional filtering out high-mtRNA cells depletes key malignant populations in cancer single-cell studies. Read it here 👉 genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... Thanks to the dream team: Josephine Yates and Agneizska Kraft!

- Looking forward to meeting the Lausanne AI Center people and giving a talk on predicting enhancer-promoter interactions using our deep ensemble model this Wednesday! memento.epfl.ch/event/ai-cen...
- Looking forward to presenting our recent (and yet unpublished) work at UNIL/CHUV next Thursday! If you're in Lausanne and would like to meet, ping me—I’ll be around from Tuesday to Friday!
- 🌟If you are at #NeurIPS2024, stop by our poster on the first single-cell #cancer foundation model. Amazing work by @flobarkmann.bsky.social and Alex Theus 👇
- 📅Are you attending #NeurIPS2024 and curious about the latest in self-supervised learning (SSL) for biology? - Stop by our poster on applying SSL on single-cell data: SSL workshop on Saturday! Work by amazing team of @oovcharenko.bsky.social, P. Toma, Imant D., J. Vogt and @flobarkmann.bsky.social

- Reposted by Valentina BoevaNot checking nuclear markers like MALAT1 or intronic reads in your scRNA-seq data?🚨 We show their power to flag low-quality cells—even in top public datasets. It’s time to prioritize better QC for cleaner, more reliable genomics research! Read more: bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... 1/8
- 🚀 New preprint from our lab, Ekaterina Krymova, and @fabiantheis.bsky.social: UniversalEPI, an attention-based method to predict enhancer-promoter interactions from DNA sequence and ATAC-seq🌟 Read the full preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... by @aayushgrover.bsky.social, L. Zhang & I.L. Ibarra
- Should now we start doing it for whole human tumors?!
