Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of significant hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. I'm excited to share our new work combining genetic associations and Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs, out today in @Nature:

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails. They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."

In light of James Watson's death, I post this article which clarifies Rosalind Franklin's contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA. It is richer than the conventional narrative. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Applications open for the Workshop on Phylogenomics in beautiful Cesky Krumlov in January 2026. Best list of topics and faculty EVER!! More info here: evomics.org/2026-workshop-…

For over 20 years, the mouse model organism has helped scientists uncover the biology behind human health and disease. But the mouse reference genomes still have missing pieces. The first collection of telomere-to-telomere mouse genomes are available for two key mouse strains.

These two males belong to different species—but share the same mother. How? Why? To celebrate the print release of our last paper in this week’s @nature.com (issue 8084), here’s a thread summarizing the results. Why? Let’s dive in🧵👇nature.com/articles/s4158…

How did animals repeatedly conquer land? 🌊➡️⛰️ We analysed ~1,000 gene repertoires (24M genes!) from all animal phyla to uncover how this happened. Work led by @gemmaeling & @klara_eleftheriadi, both first coauthors of this titanic effort! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@julnicolas On sent une légère passion pour le praliné (légère, hein)

Ça serait bien que cette période de télétravail forcé ne s’éternise pas trop car je suis en train de vider mes stocks à vitesse grand V 🍫

@julnicolas T’as dû louper le mail

On me souffle dans l'oreillette qu'on a aussi eu la cyber attaque, je l'avais presque oubliée !😂
