Great interdisciplinary effort to track down cancer resistant phenotypes. Glad to be part of the team!!
How do #cancer cells with resistant fates differ from the sensitive, already before the treatment? To answer this, we developed ReSisTrace, a cellular time-travel method that uses the similarity of sister cells to trace back pre-existing resistance. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

A 🧵 on why Seurat and Scanpy's log fold change calculations are discordant. 1/ (based on the Supplementary Notes from biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…).
Replying to @slavov_n
The LFC implementation of both is incorrect, for different reasons. The arithmetic is in the Supplementary Notes of biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… I can write a short thread explaining their shortcomings tomorrow (one of the programs is in a sense more wrong than the other!)

IMO this must be done in all comp bio papers. Without annotations, many model explanations in comp bio papers are very hard to follow. When explaining many inputs in the likelihood or many regularisation terms - you need to label what they mean. Easier to read -> more citations.
really love when authors do things like explain equations in-line with colors etc... just makes papers so much easier to read.

Twitter messed up my previous thread, but this is too important to let it slide: Here are (again) my summary & thoughts on early detection & an amazing work Deep learning model trained on 9 million patient records in Denmark & US finds people at risk for pancreatic cancer 🧵🧵

So excited to see our compositional perturbation autoencoder (CPA) paper out @MolSystBiol! This generative DL model leverages single cell perturbation (drug, CRISPR etc) studies to predict cellular response. Great collab w @MetaAI! github.com/theislab/cpa embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Now it’s time for another delicatessen, “arròs al forn”. This food is prepared in a flat, wide and low-height clay stewpot, a traditional casserole inherited form our muslim settlers in the past. The rice is cooked in the oven.

We've been working on Seurat v5 for two years and are excited to share it with you soon! In a webinar w/@10xGenomics and @ScienceMagazine on 3/29, I'll introduce new methods to analyze spatial/multimodal datasets that scale to tens of millions of cells: view6.workcast.net/register?…

If you are annoyed by connecting and reconnecting Jupyter sessions running on a remote server via SSH tunneling, you might enjoy this command-line tool I made to make this easier: github.com/vsbuffalo/remote_… #compbio

Pedimos que l@s investigador@s que tengan el #certificadoi3 no tengan que obtener también el #R3 como comentaron en el webinario #RyC2022.Nos hacéis perder el tiempo con tantas evaluaciones y burocracia @AgEInves @UniversidadGob.Nos ayudáis con un RT?#ciencia #España #precariedad

I write my books with vim. Why tough? While there are many good reasons to use Vim for book writing, one stands out: I don't know how to exit Vim.
