Excited to announce our latest work! We present ARSENAL, a short-context DNA language model specifically designed to learn important sequence features in noncoding regulatory DNA. Why is such a model important? Read on to find out! biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Thanks to @riyavsinha in my lab, @igvteam browser will natively support dynseq (dynamic sequence tracks) in an upcoming release. These tracks are very useful to directly visualize base-resolution scores (e.g. contribution scores from ML models, conservation etc). 1/

Our work on "Evaluating the representational power of pre-trained DNA language models for regulatory genomics" led by @AmberZqt with help from @NiraliSomia & @stevenyuyy is finally published in Genome Biology! Check it out! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Do current genomic language models (pre-trained on whole genomes) learn a foundational understanding of biology in the non-coding region of human genomes? A new evaluation led by @AmberZqt suggests not yet! 1/N paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This a really exciting leap forward for genomic sequence to activity gene regulation models. It is a genuine improvement over pretty much all SOTA models spanning a wide range of regulatory, transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. 1/

Happy to introduce AlphaGenome, @GoogleDeepMind's new AI model for genomics. AlphaGenome offers a comprehensive view of the human non-coding genome by predicting the impact of DNA variations. It will deepen our understanding of disease biology and open new avenues of research.

Today was a big day for the lab. We had two back to back thesis defenses and the defenders defended with great science and character. Congrats to DR. @kellycochra & DR. @soumyakundu_ on this momentous achievement. Brilliant scientists with brilliant futures ahead. 🎉🎉🎉
