now live: how should we relate AR indicators in sewage to community resistance? one look at this issue using deep longitudinal metagenomics, modeling, and lots of bioinformatics @waterARGome @petervikesland @AyellaMM

This is a really good paper (frontiersin.org/journals/mic…) and I'm proud to have contributed to its conception. Moumi took ownership of this project and taught herself much about one of the most challenging and complex topics (1/2)

in metagenomics - the assembly graph. The resulting tool will help address a major bottleneck facing metagenomics for biological surveillance - particularly in how we address antibiotic resistance. Cheers to all involved. 2/2

🧬What are protein language models (PLMs) actually learning about biology? Our paper introduces InterPLM - a framework that reveals interpretable features in PLMs using sparse autoencoders, giving us a window into how these models represent protein structure and function.

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30
