Latest from the lab! Led by @XueningHe922, establishing a framework for interpretation of the motif syntax of regulatory elements and a quantitative model for TF cooperativity. Plenty of cool stuff revealed, including TF redundancy and synergy, and their regulatory roles!
26 Jun 2025
Excited to share DeepCompARE ISA - a lightweight deep learning model efficient interpretation method, to uncover rules of TF cooperativity via genome-wide in silico motif ablations!

A true curiosity-driven journey, fulfilling one of my childhood dreams! The tail loss marks a pivotal evolutionary step towards humans and apes. But how did it happen? rdcu.be/dzTba @ItaiYanai @JefBoeke

How did we lose our tail? A simple question.. but it wasn't really asked before! We discovered a plausible scenario for the genetic mechanism that led to tail loss. Amazing that such a big change may have been caused by such a small genetic event. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @BoXia7

As a student we were taught, “no experiments could show chromatin did more than salt,” but now with the amazing @groth_anja @robin_andersson; @AliceScientist, @BiranAlva, @NicoAlc82 & @albooo87 show pluripotency required balanced epigenetic inheritance!

📢 PREPRINT ALERT 📢 Clustering cells is a key step in most scRNA-seq analysis workflows. It's hard, and harder with batch effects.
Our take on the problem, JOINTLY, use a hybrid linear and non-linear NMF. The non-linearity gives performance, the linearity gives interpretability
