“Understanding the complexity and differences between cancers is really fascinating...as computational biologists we get excited about complexity, but also the impact that we can have by understanding that complexity." – Alicia Oshlack #GalliResearch 👉unimelb.me/3Buikdu

Our paper "Genetic diversity loss in the Anthropocene" is out in Science Magazine! We study how genetic diversity is lost by habitat loss to help define UN Biodiversity #Sustainable targets science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @CarnegieScience Carnegie Plants Carnegie Ecology Stanford University

We’ve just been awarded AU$10M from the Medical Research Future Fund to support the development of OurDNA, a new program to increase the inclusion of under-represented communities in genomic research. Here's why I'm excited about this work. 🧵 garvan.org.au/news-events/ne…

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…

Stunning preprint from Xiao Wang and Jia Liu introducing STARmap PLUS for in-situ transcriptome profiling. Used to generate a 3D map of the whole mouse brain and spinal cord (1,000 genes, 1M+ cells) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#SingleCell #Genomics (1/6) Our computational toolkit for personalised haplotype assembly and crossover profiling using single gametes is out @NAR_Open! Supervised by Heejung Shim and @davisjmcc academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

I finally made a website for my stats/DS/R artwork (thanks for dealing with my unruly ReadMe for so long, everyone😅). I hope the site makes it easier to explore, find & use the artwork in your materials. This is where I'll add new stuff from now on. allisonhorst.com

The results of different methods applied to the same scRNA-seq data differ substantially. This is true even for fold changes, as shown below for Seurat and Scanpy. The differences between selected transcript "markers" are even larger: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… via @davisjmcc

Recently I convinced the institute to let me buy pizza for the campus once a month, not as a moral boosting strategy, but as bait. Today with the postdoc committee, I hosted the first Pizza Solves Everything event

Python 3.11 is out! 🎉 This is one of the most exciting releases in a while, including significant speed upgrades and better error messages. Here's what's new:

Come see the amazing @HeiniMNatri present our work identifying cell-type resolution eQTLs in the lung! I'm really excited for Heini to share these results. 3pm in the context matters section. #ASHG22

For {splatter} nothing major to report, just some bug fixes including to splatPopSimulate() from Christina Azodi.
