- JASPAR 2026 is out 🎉 The new release massively expands the TF motif collections and adds a dedicated DeepLearning collection of motifs learned from deep learning models. Database: jaspar.elixir.no Paper (NAR): doi.org/10.1093/nar/... 🧵1/2
- Glad to have contributed to this work, and big thanks to @amathelier.bsky.social, @damlaob.bsky.social, and @ievarau.bsky.social (and the whole JASPAR crew) for this great effort. #JASPAR #TFmotifs #DeepLearning #Genomics 🧵2/2
- Reposted by Damir BaranasicHow do new centromeres evolve while staying compatible with the division machinery? Discover it in our new Nature paper! We show centromeres transition gradually via a mix of drift, selection, and sex, reaching new states that still work with the kinetochore. 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09779-1
- Congrats on the amazing work @jgahan.bsky.social and the team!
- Very happy to see our paper published online natcomms.nature.com. Thank you to @wellcometrust.bsky.social for funding this work during my time with @robklose.bsky.social and David Booth! Thanks also to collaborators @garcialabms.bsky.social @alexdemendoza.bsky.social and the other authors!
- I am very proud to see @kkajan.bsky.social and Marta Bosnjakovic from my group presenting their exciting results obtained from #CAGE data! #CroAGE #nextGenerationEU
- Reposted by Damir BaranasicTo recognise and celebrate @svobodalab.bsky.social's pivotal contribution to Woodstock Bio2 + Night Science, #TCTeAC, I am starting this "What Petr Svoboda did at Woodstock?" thread.

- Do we really need large language models to tell us that the germline residue is the optimal one? One of the questions Charlotte Dean tackled in her talk at #ISMBECCB2025, and how she and her team addressed the problem of germline bias in antibody target prediction 🧬🔬💻🤖
- Reposted by Damir BaranasicToday marks the start of the #RegSys @iscb-regsys.bsky.social track at ##ISMBECCB2025! Very much looking forward to listening to the exciting science that will be presented. Join us in room 11BC today and tomorrow.

- Day 3 of #ISMBECCB2025 started with an excellent talk from @jameszou.bsky.social which presented how AI can form virtual labs to discuss problems, how can AI reanalyse research data to get new biological results, and how we can interpret complex AI predictions 💻🤖
- Today's keynote at #ISMBECCB2025 Amos Bairoch talking about 45 years of data curation #swissProt #cellosaurus
- Eagerly waiting for the start of #ISMBECCB2025 with @croage.bsky.social team, @kkajan.bsky.social, Marta and Ira, with the great company of @damlaob.bsky.social and @ferenckata.bsky.social for a keynote talk from John Jumper 🧬🔬

- Reposted by Damir BaranasicFailure is always in the background of any creative project; when the experiments are not working or the results don’t seem to make sense. But for discovery, you can’t deny yourself the permission to fail, and we should better teach failure in all its glory.
