Replying to @elonmusk
@elonmusk Dear Elon, In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.

Celebrating the end of 2024 with our new publication led by @SuiyangLiao: we investigate the role of empty LNPs on transfection efficiency of mRNA- turns out they’re not just silent bystanders, and there’s a balance in how loaded you want your particles: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Super excited to finally post about our RNA foundation model, led by our very own Ali Saberi (not on Twitter), with @genophoria , @AminMEmad , and @vram142. LoRNA-SH is splice-aware, takes as input the entire pre-mRNA, and models isoform diversity biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n

Check out this exciting work by @genophoria and the team! Codon usage never disappoints!
Check out our latest research by @MNaghipourfar and others in our team on building language models of coding sequence. In this preprint, we introduce cdsFM, a suite of codon-resolution language models!👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

What is the best strategy to quantify mRNA isoforms? Short-read RNA-seq to achieve high depth? Or long reads to get unambiguous read-isoform assignments? In our latest work with @genophoria, we show that what we really need is to combine both! (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Shocked, saddened and so sorry to hear this news. 😢💔Even though we crossed paths only briefly, Wei made a huge impression on me. He is a super kind person and an exceptional scientist. Please consider donating to support his loved ones: gofund.me/99b4ad4f
