Now you can plot cool networks using DOT and graphviz layouts. It does not matter if graphviz is not installed, it supports native binaries, js/wasm and webassembly with wasmtime, + other nice options! Check the @marimo.io notebook in molab: molab.marimo.io/notebooks/nb...

This project has been in the making for quite some time. CORNETO not only integrates key concepts and methodologies in biological network inference, but also introduces a novel framework for multi-condition analysis. Congrats to the team, and especially to @pablormier.bsky.social for leading this.

How can we find out what’s really going on inside cells when we’re generating so much complex data? CORNETO is an open-source tool that uses machine learning to turn tangled omics datasets into clear maps of how genes, proteins, and signalling pathways interact. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/r... 🧪

Turns out the way we usually pre-train foundational cell models adds very little information to the system - definitely not enough to make drug effect predictions work. Not what I've expected. #virtualcells #foundationalmodels #compbio blog.turbine.ai/p/pretrainin...

📄 Update on our preprint about Gene Regulatory Net (GRN) benchmarking 📄 We have included the original and decoupled version of SCENIC+, added a new metric and two more databases. Dictys and SCENIC+ outperformed others, but still performed poorly in causal mechanistic tasks. doi.org/10.1101/2024... 👇

In many countries we're seeing voters that have never known anything other than stability and a certain level of competence voting for anti- system candidates because they have convinced themselves of two things: things right now are awful; change will only be for the better.
