🧬 How do immune disease-relevant variants affect gene regulatory networks in CD4+ T cells? 🧪🖥️ We coupled two large-scale CRISPRi screens (>4M cells) to map the downstream cascades of thousands of SNPs More details in the thread below 👇 or in the article 📖 on biorxiv tinyurl.com/CD4screens

Very proud to see this work out on bioRxiv. Using genome-scale TAP/Perturb-seq we mapped the function of immune-disease variants to target genes and regulatory cascades. Have a look at the 🧵from @anniquec.bsky.social for more info!

Very nice framework to handle missing values in proteomics data by combining probabilistic factor models (alike MOFA) and suitable likelihood functions to account for values missing not at random. Take a look 👇

CompBio method developers: software that only runs on your computer and is not available via a repository like CRAN, PyPI, Bioconductor, is not a proper research output — just like a set of scribbled notes on your desktop is not the same as a preprint or a paper. Finish the job.
