Genomic tests don't always find a diagnosis for rare disease patients, but what if we look again? Our paper in @GIMJournal describes a #bioinformatics tool that can help #NHS labs to reanalyse genomic variants using the dynamic @PanelAppTeam database 🧬: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Generative AI can craft impressively eloquent text, but is it ready to mass produce lay summaries of research articles? Though it may be on the right track, there are still some drawbacks to watch out for. New from me in @NatureIndex nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Is AI ready to mass-produce lay summaries of research articles?

Nature - A surge in tools that generate text is allowing research papers to be summarized for a broad audience, and in any language. But scientists caution that major challenges remain.

This great article from @markowetzlab sets out why almost all models fail to be translated into the clinic and suggest solutions. The same arguments apply to all clinical #genomic tests and associated #bioinformatics. A thread on my own experiences. nature.com/articles/s41698-0…

Great application of DNA language models to prokaryotic genomes. Excellent impactful application use cases of the model. Congrats to all the authors! But a quick answer to the first question. No - DNA is not all you need. 1/

Is DNA all you need? In new work, we report Evo, a genomic foundation model that learns across the fundamental languages of biology: DNA, RNA, and proteins. Evo is capable of both prediction tasks and generative design, from molecular to whole genome scale.

Clustering algorithms report clusters even when none exist. In single-cell RNA-Seq pipelines, novel cell types are often identified by clustering algorithms. Expanding on Kimes et al.'s work, we introduce significance analysis for single-cell RNA-Seq data: nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Excited to share this work, collab with @mikelove et al!! Diffsig can test the association btwn mutational signatures and “risk factors” which can be any variables of interest – continuous or categorical – and multiple risk factors can be tested at once: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
