- Reposted by Nezar AbdennurIn the genomics community, we have focused pretty heavily on achieving state-of-the-art predictive performance. While undoubtedly important, how we *use* these models after training is potentially even more important. tangermeme v1.0.0 is out now. Hope you find it useful!
- My talk on #Composability in genomic software at #SciPy2025 is up on YouTube where I showcase both #anywidget and #oxbow. Thank you to the organizers for the opportunity to present this to both computational biologists and the wider scientific computing community! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G22_...

- Our #anywidget tutorial from last year's #SciPy conf was uploaded to youtube! Check it out for a hands-on walkthrough to create your own web-based widgets.
- We're excited to share our new preprint, "Joint decomposition of Hi-C maps reveals salient features of genome architecture across tissues and development", led by Thomas Reimonn. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- We introduce a framework and Python toolkit (github.com/abdenlab/joi...) for analyzing compartmentalization and long-range interactions in chromosome conformation capture data.
