Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) in RNA-seq are supposed to be… unique. But what if they don’t have to be? In our new preprint w/ Dylan Agyemang + @rafalab, we show that UMIs can be shorter—if you use the right estimator. 1/12

TissueMosaic is a super cool method for contrastive ST analysis with lots of rigorous benchmarking -- congrats @SandeepKambham2 et al!!

TissueMosaic, our method to study how changes in tissue structure across conditions affect cell-intrinsic function, is now out @CellSystemsCP! cell.com/cell-systems/f…

Should you take an SVD before or after integrating your data? Our new preprint derives some surprising insights using tools from Random Matrix Theory. With @PhillipNicol, @rafalab, and Rong Ma. arxiv.org/pdf/2507.22170 (1/n)

Congrats to @gillianychu et al!!

The culmination of several PhD years — today LAML is published! LAML infers max likelihood time-resolved cell lineage trees from dynamic lineage tracing data accurately and efficiently. Thanks to @benjraphael for his guidance! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Excited to share our latest preprint, introducing the hierarchical cross-entropy (HCE) loss — a simple change that consistently improves performance in atlas-scale cell type annotation models. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

I met @uthsavc at RECOMB '22. We got lunch and talked science. His GASTON work (RECOMB '24), with its isodepth, was the missing piece for applying our DAG Granger Causality (RECOMB '23) to spatial settings. And thus GLACIER got going, led by Prannav Shankar and @hliang74!

At RECOMB-Seq, I will be presenting GLACIER, with @uthsavc and my trainees Prannav and @hliang74 , where we introduce Spatial Granger Causal inference: decoding the drivers of tissue topology. It's a lovely RECOMB-to-RECOMB story, will tweet more soon. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

2/ Here, wanted to highlight interesting approach from Bonnie Berger’s lab @MIT, velorama @CellSystemsCP. It goes the other way than regvelo, essentially leverages dynamics to infer regulatory interactions from single cell transcriptome and velocities, see cell.com/cell-systems/a…
