1/ DNA sequence models like Borzoi predict gene expression and variant effects across tissues — but how can someone adapt the model to a custom experiment? @drkbio.bsky.social, Johannes Linder and I propose a solution via parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT).

PhD position available for theoretical and statistical modeling in my joint @gevol.bsky.social project with @luisapallares.bsky.social on the evolution of transcriptional variability and its role in adaptation and evolutionary innovation.

Deep learning with data beyond the genome: Our paper on active machine learning to model regulatory DNA is out today in Cell Systems.

With functional assays and DNA synthesis you can generate any training examples, not just genomic sequences. 🧵
