Modern Python Project GitHub Template TL;DR: I created a freely available template to facilitate setting up “modern” Python projects.

Interested in Python programming and good software engineering practices? Check out my newest blog post where I introduce a "modern Python" GitHub repository template and talk about my motivation for its creation! mmzdouc.github.io/posts/2025/1...

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Flowchart that shows how gene modules are found from co-expression data, connected using TFBS enrichment, and fitted to experimental data.

New preprint!

BADDADAN mechanistically models time-series response of >1000 genes to stress by clustering first, then fitting an ODE model.

Demonstrated on real Arabidopsis data: interpretable, coherent modules, plus new and existing biological insights.
