A thread of #gget threads - all gget updates in chronological order I will continue to add to this threadception as we post more updates. 🧵🧵 pachterlab.github.io/gget/
If you love #viruses, #ribosomes, and genomic #darkmatter, this thread is for you!! 💫 We're excited to share our published work developing Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP), which uncovered ~4,000 hidden proteins in ~700 viral genomes. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
1/ 🧵Can protein language models reason about evolution, not just model it? We built a 24 M-param PLM, Phyla, that reconstructs phylogenetic trees better than existing PLMs. Details & links in 2/👇
We're thrilled to announce the 2025 FutureHouse AI for Science Independent Postdoctoral Fellows—six extraordinary scientists using FutureHouse tools to solve challenging scientific problems. Fellows will have access to all released and non-released agents and tools we’ve built at…
Today, we’re announcing the first major discovery made by our AI Scientist with the lab in the loop: a promising new treatment for dry AMD, a major cause of blindness. Our agents generated the hypotheses, designed the experiments, analyzed the data, iterated, even made figures…
Arc is hiring a Chief Scientific Officer! Come work with at what I think is the most dynamic and ambitious biology research organization in the world, partnering with @pdhsu, @SKonermann, @davey_burke, Arc's extraordinary faculty, and many more. We want to build the world's…
🎉 Big congrats to Dr. Laura Luebbert (@NeuroLuebbert) , a postdoc in our lab, for receiving the 2025 FutureHouse Fellowship! We are so proud of her and excited for what's ahead! Congrats, Laura!!
Laura Luebbert @NeuroLuebbert will work with FutureHouse and the Sabeti Lab @PardisSabeti to develop AI-driven workflows to identify viral sequences in genomic and transcriptomic datasets by leveraging conserved protein motifs. Laura is known for creating gget, a widely-adopted…
