- Reposted by Ivan FerreiraWe are thrilled to share our new pre-print: “System-wide extraction of cis-regulatory rules from sequence-to-function models in human neural development”. S2F-deeplearning models can accurately encode enhancers, yet decoding these models into human-interpretable rules remains a major challenge.

- Reposted by Ivan FerreiraHiding in plain sight - how close are we to mapping ALL 🧬enhancers🧬 in the genome? Our new paper by Mannion et al. takes a systematic look at "hidden enhancers" and why they remain so hard to find.

Ehm…🛢️👀 Letting an industry with a terrible record on land do the same in the ocean where there’s way less oversight. What could go wrong? 🤔

Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

- Here’s a fact: to date, one single animal has been brought back from extinction: the Pyrenean Ibex. The kid died after birth suffocating with ill-formed lungs, but it did live for a few minutes, making it the only species in the 4 billion year history of life on Earth to have gone extinct *twice*
