Joined July 2012
Excited to share our latest paper out in @NatureBiotech with @marekkoki and @sdeorowicz, introducing sc-SPLASH: a reference-free statistical method for variation detection beyond gene expression in barcoded scRNA-seq (10x) and spatial transcriptomics. nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

sc-SPLASH is integerated into SPLASH2 pipeline and is available at: github.com/refresh-bio/splas…. Also, our BKC tool is available as a standalone tool at: github.com/refresh-bio/bkc (check them out!)

It was an absolute pleasure working on this project, and I am deeply grateful to all our computational and experimental collaborators.

Iran will rise 💚🤍❤️ #DigitalBlackoutIran #FreeIran
What’s unfolding in Iran may be the most consequential and underreported story in the world. Free elections there won’t just be a human rights victory. The fall of the Ayatollahs will release tens of millions of people, who come from one of the most creative civilizations in history. Iranian culture has shaped art, science and innovation for centuries. Suppressing it hurts not just Iranians, but humanity as a whole.

Honored to have been part of this multi-year effort, published in two @Nature papers, to map cell types in mouse lemur, an emerging genetic model organism.
Double paper alert in @Nature! A team of 150+ scientists, led by @StephenQuake, Mark Krasnow/@Stanford & #CZBiohubSF Genomics, published on Tabula Microcebus, a cell atlas of gene expression data from 226K single cells from mouse lemur organs & tissues. czbiohub.org/life-science/ne…

Using our statistical tools for RNA splicing, SICILIAN and SpliZ, we systematically characterized RNA splicing in mouse lemur cell types and identified thousands of new, cell-type-specific splice junctions, including 85,000 junctions absent in mice but shared with humans.

Mouse lemurs are the smallest and fastest-reproducing primates, and now there's an impressive mouse lemur molecular cell atlas go.nature.com/3H8vaE2

Happy to share our latest paper with @marekkoki on SPLASH2 for ultra-efficient reference-free discovery directly on raw sequencing reads out in @NatureBiotech, supervised by @SalzmanLab and @sdeorowicz, and with great contributions from @TBaharav. nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

Analyzing the entire Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) with a single-line command, we rediscovered BCR-ABL1 fusion and identified substantial unannotated AS, including cancer-type-specific cryptic exons in cancer genes (eg RAB36 and PTEN) and insertions missed by STAR in HOOK3
