One thing I'm doing since joining the Tan Lab @ Stanford is working on the computational stack of 3D genome research. I put Dip-C v1.0 out as a release! This is an archive of the original Python 2 code from the single-cell 3D genomes in Science, Nat Struct Mol Biol, and Cell (2018–2023). 🧬

Even more excited — our paper is featured on the cover of Science Advances! Huge thanks to @alexandrejan.bsky.social who took this incredible photo of a ctenophore (aka comb jelly) and the editors. Here’s the cover 👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A little late, but there is a fun new chapter in my life! I joined Longzhi Tan's lab at Stanford Neurobiology in November, and am now working on single-cell 3D architecture, neurodegeneration, and aging. Excited to bring a comparative genomics perspective to these topics. 🧬 Tan lab: 3dgeno.me

When you zoom out from individual genes to consider the context of whole chromosomes across animal diversity, animal evolution takes on a different look. Oleg Simakov and I published a review in @annualreviews.bsky.social on topological approaches in comparative genomics. 🧬 doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Final version @nature.com of our paper describing unconventional multicellular development in a choanoflagellate inhabiting an extreme environment. A ton of new data since the first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint (which we've kept updating). A brief 🧵 (carried over from the old place)

Deleted my data and account. I've had a paid OpenAI account for years. Will be using other tools. LLMs have been fantastic for research and software development, but this is too much.

Our paper on the octopus genome made the cover of G3! 🐙 Congrats to my mentee Dalila Destanović, Eve Seuntjens, and the CNAG team in Barcelona! Photo courtesy of David Stohlmann - a graduate student at the University of Vienna. academic.oup.com/g3journal/ar...
