looks very useful!

So great for bioinformatics training!

come along to our first event of 2026 to chat about bioinformatics data engineering & meet like-minded folks ! @londonomics.bsky.social www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/lon...

ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u... absolutely sickening, such a painful read. LLMs could be powerful tools for science, but should never have been trained to interact with people like it is a friend. In a loneliness pandemic can you really expect people to resist this emotional junk food?

If I had to do a second PhD it would for sure be this one! So exciting!

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

Tylenol and Autism Earlier this year, HHS secretary RFK Jr. predicted that, "By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures." Scientists have been researc

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

Only single cell sequencing of the all these post docs will reveal why

Congratulations to @bencekover.bsky.social for winning the best talk prize for schooling us all on best practises in mass scRNA-Seq data integration #Londonomics2025

Can’t thank our career mentors enough for the great discussions in our mentorship session @margaridamcm.bsky.social @kristinaulicna.bsky.social @gavinpaulkelly.bsky.social and Mara Tatari 💪#Londonomics2025

In the afternoon we had an excellent talk about AlphaMissense and AlphaGenome from @avsecz.bsky.social who generously allowed us to heckle him during the talk, answering all our questions!

In the morning we enjoyed 11 short talks from computational biology ECRs - I especially liked @saniyakhullar.bsky.social’s talk on incorporating prior PPI knowledge into gene regulatory network inference #londonomics2025

Had such a great time at #Londonomics2025 today - excellent talks and discussions - thank you to everyone who came along and shared their ideas with us.

Sounds like a wonderful position

RUN, DON'T WALK to sign up for the londonomics symposium! we gotta order the sandwiches soon, so grab your ticket while you can! come hear about AlphaGenome & other great omics work, get career advice and hang out with us, it'll be so great i promise register.oxfordabstracts.com/event/75604?...

Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.

Did GPT-5 make this graph?

Excited for this! Please do come and present your work :D

SPIDR enables multiplexed mapping of RNA-protein interactions and uncovers a mechanism for selective translational suppression upon cell stress SPIDR, a massively multiplexed method that simultaneously maps dozens of RNA-binding proteins to their RNA targets at single-nucleotide resolution, uncovers new RNA-protein interactions and provides c...

This work is the result of a fantastic collaboration between my lab at the University of Michigan, Mitchell Guttman lab at Caltech, and Marko Jovanovic lab at Columbia University.

New ENCODE4 long-read RNA-seq transcripts track for hg38 and mm10. Triplets (e.g. [1,1,3]) indicate start site, exon combination, and stop site for each transcript. Enrichment scores show how these change across tissue and cell line samples.

Generative AI’s crippling and widespread failure to induce robust models of the world LLM failures to reason, as documented in Apple’s Illusion of Thinking paper, are really only part of a much deeper problem

"It is not just that LLM’s fail to induce proper world models of chess. It’s that they never induce proper worlds of anything. Everything that they do is through mimicry, rather than abstracted cognition across proper world models."
