Thanks to Dongyuan for your excellent work on developing the ClusterDE method, and to my students Christy and Siqi for extending it to single-cell atlas data and spatial transcriptomics, enabling the discovery of reliable marker genes for annotating cell types and spatial domains

Excited to share our new method ClipperQTL published in @GenomeBiology Built on our p-value-free FDR control framework Clipper, ClipperQTL performs on par with FastQTL and runs up to 500× faster. Big thanks to my former PhD student Heather Zhou! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… #eQTL

I’ll speak on July 16 (2:30pm ET) at NSF@75: Advancing Statistical Science for a Data‑Driven World @InStatsOrg conference. My talk is about an info-theoretic criterion (ITCA) for combining ambiguous class labels: jmlr.org/papers/v23/21-… Free registration: instats.org/seminar/nsfa75…

The course covers a wide range of topics, including NGS data analysis, single-cell transcriptomics, gene regulatory networks, AI, and protein structure prediction. It combines lectures with hands-on projects for practical experience.

I’m deeply honored to be named a 2025 Guggenheim Fellow—especially as part of the Foundation’s historic 100th class. Grateful to be in the company of so many brilliant artists, scholars, and scientists. #guggfellows2025

Honored to be part of the Farm Animal Genotype–Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) Project. This study maps RNA-based molecular QTL across 16 farm animal species, unlocking key insights into genetics & physiology. nature.com/articles/s4158… #FarmGTEx

Thanks @davidliwei for inviting us to this great collaboration! Thanks my PhD student @Qingyang__Wang for extending our simulator scDesign3 to perform the simulation study in this work.

Looking forward to giving this talk on Friday!

The new date for my talk is 1/31/2025, this Friday. The livestream link is at youtube.com/watch?v=nWTke0…

I sincerely apologize for needing to reschedule this talk to 5/9/2025. Wishing everyone safety and well-being, and I look forward to sharing more of our recent research progress on the new date.

Excited to share my recent work on using permutations to enhance the reliability of single-cell data visualization (scDEED method) and metacell construction (mcRigor method)! Join my talk this Friday (1/10) at 9 AM PST: YouTube link.
