Transposable elements are increasingly studied in single-cell data, but how reliable are current locus-level quantification methods in short-read scRNA-seq data? If you work with single-cell RNA-seq or TEs, we hope this is a useful resource — feedback very welcome!

Our new preprint is out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We show that GRN benchmarks commonly used can overestimate performance due to negative-sampling choices, sometimes allowing simple degree-based baselines to rival more complex GNNs. A reminder of why bias-aware evaluation matters!
