🧬 Excited to share our paper "Robust chromatin state annotation," now in Genome Research, @mforoozz, @marjanfarahbod, @maxlibbrecht. Paper: bit.ly/scgrp Blog Post: bit.ly/scmbp Follow this thread for details. (1/6)👇
New preprint: "Integrative chromatin state annotation of 234 human ENCODE4 cell types using Segway reveals disease drivers" @marjanfarahbod @mforoozz @HDaneshpajouh @bonscotthoughts @JMichaelCherry1 @maxlibbrecht biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
It's official, I've been granted tenure and promoted to Associate Professor! A huge thank you to my students, colleagues, mentors and collaborators.
New paper in @OUPBioinfo: "Integrative chromatin domain annotation through graph embedding of Hi-C data", Neda Shokraneh, Mariam Arab, @maxlibbrecht.
Presenting on "Accurate and interpretable prediction of drug resistance in M. tuberculosis using deep learning" at the Mathematics and Statistics of Genomic Epidemiology workshop. Thanks to the organizers for the opportunity to present. @BIRS_Math birs.ca/events/2022/5-…
Happy to share that our survey of the current interpretable methods for deep learning models in genomics is finally out in Nature Reviews Genetics! 1/7 nature.com/articles/s4157…
Nice overview from @sara_mostafavi on how to unlock genetic and mechanistic insights from biological data using explainable AI, with many applications in regulatory genomics @NatureRevGenet nature.com/articles/s4157…
Review on "Obtaining genetics insights from deep learning via explainable artificial intelligence" out now in @NatureRevGenet! Thanks to co-authors @NovakovskyG, Nick Dexter, @WyWyWa, @sara_mostafavi nature.com/articles/s4157…
