just for perspective: Covid in the US has a death rate of ~2.35% (2.3E5/10.1E6; source JHU). So (this is not exactly higher math) accepting >100000 new infections per day means being OK with well over 2000 deaths per day in about 2-3 weeks (more if hospitals can't cope anymore).

Exciting times #AI & genomics, gene prediction field, great collab with @stark_lab. Using transfer deep learning to make completely synthetic enhancers with predicted activity (tissue and stage in embryos). Check out the back-to-back complementary lovely paper from @steinaerts
StarkLab@stark_lab

Today, we - @stark_lab and @Eileen_Furlong lab (@EMBLheidelberg) - report the design of 40 synthetic enhancers for 5 tissue types in fruit fly embryos, in vivo. With only a few hundred enhancers per tissue for training, we adopt a stepping-stone transfer-learning approach: (5/N)

Want to sequence RNA from cells without killing them or deliver RNA programs from cell to cell? Today in Cell, we present RNA exporters, which package and secrete cellular RNA, for non-destructively monitoring cell dynamics by sequencing and delivering RNA authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

We’ve taken light data detected by four of our telescopes—@ChandraXray, @NASAWebb, @NASAHubble, and Spitzer Space Telescope—and turned them into sound. Hear what some galaxies and stars sound like: go.nasa.gov/3PjoNzt

Have been a bit quiet on twitter as we've been getting to know this little guy - say hello to Avyaan Rao-Satija. And thanks to my lab (esp @smith_tracymae) for the amazing Single Cell Genomics Day quilt!

Thrilled to share my ultimate PhD project at @steinaerts' lab on designing cell-type specific synthetic enhancers! We implemented three different design strategies guided by our previously trained deep learning models on fly brain enhancers. Link: bit.ly/3oAILXS (1/n)
