What’s up with Downes? @gbdownes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025
I'm thrilled to announce that our paper describing Marigold, a free machine learning-based webapp for zebrafish behavioral analysis, is officially published! Marigold features a user friendly graphical user interface to enable training of a neural network for analyzing behavioral recordings.

GWAS provides a unique tool in human biology as it can establish causal links from variants to trait. But interpretation is difficult as most effects flow through (unobserved) gene regulatory networks. Can we gain insight by linking to modern Perturb-seq data? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
