💥 Excited to introduce Bacformer 🦠 - the first foundation model for bacterial genomics. Bacformer represents genomes as sequences of ordered proteins, learning the “grammar” of how genes are arranged, interact and evolve. Preprint 📝: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 1/n

Thrilled to share LUNA🌕 – our new generative AI model that reassembles tissues from dissociated cells! Think of it as AlphaFold for cells 🧬 From the MERFISH mouse brain atlas to the scRNA-seq atlas & Slide-tags datasets, LUNA is widely applicable. Bringing us closer to virtual…

What's a good way of organizing scRNA-seq data for training foundation models? Say you run 1k experiments and each measures counts for 1M cells with varying metadata and orthogonal data. Storing these data in one gigantic array isn’t exactly easy. We wondered whether it’s…
