Today, I'm excited to present the second big chunk of my Ph.D. work. We are building a thorough assessment of the burgeoning field of gene expression forecasting. Something is deeply wrong.🧵

Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind
Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/go…

It pains me to see facile critiques of GWAS on here from our clinical/biostats friends while the many actually good reasons to be critical of GWAS get little attention. So here's a thread on what GWAS does, what critics get wrong, and where GWAS is genuinely still lacking. 🧵:

Important work by @hannesclaeys @Inari_Ag using CRISPR for gene #upregulation in maize through enhancer insertion. Happy to have made a small contribution to the development of this technology. @PSB_VIB onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

My article is now out in @Nature!
It’s been ~1 year since my post about the flaws within 2 high-profile articles that claimed 33-68% increases in crop yield. Our paper describes common issues & suggests yield-testing criteria for future pubs. A thread🧵

Does anyone have experience with lyophilization before RNA extraction for high-moisture plant tissues that turn rock-hard when frozen in liq N2? Seems like the transcriptome would shift, but the non-plant lit suggests this isn't an issue. Has anyone done it in plants?
