This fall, the Data Lab is hitting the road to present some of our tools and projects during these exciting events. Here’s where you can find us! 🧵

Happy upcoming Pioneer Award Application Day to all who celebrate. I was mentioning that the best review comment I've ever gotten came from the related DP2 (New Innovator) mechanism. Enjoy this throwback to #GrantReviewGreatstHits as the deadline gets closer! May you all do better than I've done!

"I want to vibe code the genome" —the illustrious @casey.greenelab.com as quoted by @jperkel.bsky.social @nature.com 🧬🖥️ #MLSky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

CU Anschutz 🤝UCLA We were thrilled to host @alice.soragnilab.com from UCLA at @cuanschutz.bsky.social. She’s teaming up with @casey.greenelab.com to drive innovation and improve patient outcomes. This collaboration is a powerful example of how partnerships accelerate scientific discovery.

What is the point of published abstracts?? Does anyone find them useful for anything? As if we don't already have enough clutter in the literature 😳

Now up in #BOSC2025 is our Ed Board Member @monimunozto.bsky.social talking about the AI/ML readiness of biomedical data through the Bridge2AI project #ISMBECCB2025 #ISMB2025

This Q&A with @casey.greenelab.com provides a nice summary of the current state of #ArtificialInteligence in healthcare, future developments on the horizon, and the potential opportunities and pitfalls of these technologies - for both providers and patients.

Bioinformatics is one of the areas covered in this US-Africa Frontiers of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Symposium. Feb 2026. Applications open through July 31, 2025: www.nationalacademies.org/event/45168_...

AI isn’t here to replace your doctor—it’s here to help them spend more time with you. @casey.greenelab.com explains how @cuanschutz.bsky.social researchers are using AI to improve patient care, streamline hospital operations, and build trust through transparency and real-world results.

Thread: Multi-omics sounds cool—until you actually try it. Here's are the nuances. 1/ You’ve got RNA-seq. Methylation. Proteomics. Time to “integrate” the data. But how? And why? Let’s break it down.

✴️ Request for proposals! ✴️ @navigation.org is funding focused gatherings to tackle key challenges in Open Science. We support meetings that define solvable problems and quickly move ideas toward implementation. Deadline: June 15, 2025 os.nav.fund/meeting-fund #OpenScience

✴️ REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS! ✴️ @navigation.org is seeking bold projects at the intersection of AI and Open Science. We support innovative applications that make science more transparent, efficient, and trustworthy. Deadline: July 15, 2025. os.nav.fund/ai-for-os/ #openscience #AIforScience

Life-saving treatments exist because of decades of research, but cuts to NIH-funded research put that progress at risk. When the unthinkable happens, will the care we need still be there? We must protect this lifeline. #StandUpForScience @casey.greenelab.com @annagreene.bsky.social

Me too!!

Last year, I was surprisingly diagnosed with AML. Attacks on science that we currently face threaten future scientific discoveries that can benefit individuals' health. This should scare us all. Read more about my story and thoughts on this below (with @casey.greenelab.com).

We recently announced new ways to participate in the Open #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas (OpenScPCA) project. Researchers who contribute their expertise may become eligible for a grant! Keep reading for more details about the unique 2025 grant categories. 🧵

Excited to see my dissertation work published in Cancer Research @theaacr.bsky.social 🎉! A big thank you to my chair, Jen Doherty and committee including @casey.greenelab.com for their mentorship on this project! Check out the highlights of our study below if interested 🧬😀

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

Today, we're launching the Arc Virtual Cell Atlas, a growing resource for computation-ready single-cell measurements. arc-website-git-ben-virtual-cell-atlas-tool-arc-institute.vercel.app/news/news/ar...

We’re thrilled that our first paper on the Human Microbiome Compendium, an integrated dataset of over 168,000 uniformly processed human gut microbiome samples, is officially out today in Cell! @richabdill.com @blekhman.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

We did a thing! Read below if you want to learn more :)

Today we report a new compendium of human gut microbiomes with >168,000 samples By analyzing this massive dataset, we discovered distinct microbiome patterns across the globe, and show we can predict where a person lives just from their gut bacteria Now out in Cell: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

We have got a website now! Shout-out to @casey.greenelab.com for their well-documented lab website template that offers super flexibility to make a website that is "our own". With plenty of ChatGPT assist, this was a fun project! www.parafugelab.com

Interesting find from ~20 years ago - fuzzy axolotls were first invented by Mahony et al, 2004 (Figure 2) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15070404/

Why use synthetic data? One rationale: because personal health data are highly protected and sensitive As @casey.greenelab.com and I and others have written, like oil, privacy can be gone, in contrast to data which are reusable: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #PSB25
