New preprint! Our workflow for processing single cell and nuclei data, called 🎉 scprocess 🎉 We have been working on it for ~18 months now, over which time we have processed at least 2k samples with it, so it has had a decent amount of testing.

Members of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) were removed by police during the organization's annual meeting on Friday as they handed out copies of an editorial criticizing Trump administration changes to U.S. biomedical research. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Have you ever wondered 🤔... Does phenotypic variance respond to environmental perturbation? Does it have a genetic basis? Are mean and variance regulating loci exposed to different selection pressures? These and more questions are explored in our new preprint 🔥 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 Proud to share that our paper on the genetic links between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension is now published in @natcomms.nature.com! We dissect the genetic relationship between T2D and hypertension and show it is not driven by a single shared pathway. 🧬 (1/N)

Polygenic scores are useful for early detection, but also early prevention! New paper shows people with high genetic risk of T2D have 3x more risk of developing it by age 35. Early detection could trigger lifestyle changes, metformin prescription... doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Developing type 2 diabetes young+lean is not as uncommon as it may seem. This phenomenon is more common in people of South Asian and East Asian ancestry, but is observed across populations. Why does this happen, how should we screen and treat young+lean T2D. 👉 Read our paper here: rdcu.be/eH0YR

"L’Etat veut bien accueillir les chercheuses et chercheurs empêchés de travailler aux Etats-Unis, mais pas tous. Les thématiques considérées comme «wokes» ne font pas partie des cibles du gouvernement." Macron est une belle ordure.

I wrote about how population stratification in genetic analyses led to a decade of false findings and almost certainly continues to bias emerging results. But we are starting to have statistical tools to sniff it out. A 🧵:

Since 2010, the training computation of notable AI systems has doubled every six months

A chart showing the computation used to train notable AI systems, measured in total floating-point operations (FLOP) and highlighting two distinct eras. In the first era from 1950 to 2010, the training computation doubled approximately every 21 months. With the rise of deep learning since 2010, it has been doubling approximately every 6 months. The y-axis ranges from 100 FLOP to 100 septillion FLOP. Several systems are highlighted, from early systems such as Theseus and the Perceptron Mark 1 to recent systems such as GPT-4 and Gemini 1.0 Ultra.
