We leveraged a #BioID screen conceived by @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social Noboru Ishiyama/Mitsu Ikura and @gingraslab.bsky.social —finding candidates that bind OPEN vs closed alpha-cat. A reasonable candidate was LZTS2—previously implicated in #abscission, but poorly understood. 6/12

It's a great start to the new year for @kieranrcampbell.bsky.social , @hartjackson.bsky.social and their amazing teams! See their important paper "Segmentation aware probabilistic phenotyping of single-cell spatial protein expression data" 👏

Kieran Campbell @kieranrcampbell.bsky.social · Jan 6

How can we quantify single cell expression from multiplexed imaging datasets given segmentation errors?

To help tackle this, we introduce evaluation metrics, a gold-standard dataset, and STARLING—a new probabilistic machine learning method (1/4)

Spatial expression assays are affected by segmentation errors leading to difficulty interpreting cell types. Here, the authors introduce a machine learning model to infer cell types accounting for suc...

(1/8) 🚀 Excited to share our findings on a large-scale ChIP-seq assay for 166 previously uncharacterized human transcription factors (TFs) and their roles in both regulatory regions, and more strikingly, the “dark matter” genome. 🌌 doi.org/10.1101/2024....

Extensive binding of uncharacterized human transcription factors to genomic dark matter

Most of the human genome is thought to be non-functional, and includes large segments often referred to as “dark matter” DNA. The genome also encodes hundreds of putative and poorly characterized tran...
