1/🧵Excited to re-introduce Memento in (cell.com/cell/fulltext/…), a scalable method for differential analysis of scRNA-seq data. It provides first-in-class performance in statistical power and calibration for comparing differences in mean, variability, and gene correlation.👇

Thinking about a PhD using computational power to answer pressing problems in biology and health? @UCSF Biological and Medical Informatics PhD program is recruiting for Fall 2025! Join our info session next Monday Oct 21: bmi.ucsf.edu/admissions.

Very cool work by @YinShenLab showing how allelic compensation can be used as a regulatory compensation mechanism. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Beautiful work by @KarissaLHansen and @ElphegeNoraLab on the role of cohesin in enhancer-promoter interactions. Synergy between cis-regulatory elements can render cohesin dispensable for distal enhancer function biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Incredibly proud to share that I recently joined @UCSF_BTS @UCSF as an Assistant Professor! This means that the Calderon Lab is now open! Or, more accurately, in the process of opening as I am still unboxing equipment and unraveling giant posters (a last @JSHendure lab gift) 🥳

An experimental census of retrons, now published in @NatureBiotech We synthesized more than a hundred new retrons and put them through their paces, improved recombineering rates and precise editing in human cells up to 40%. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share the white paper for the IGVF Consortium, supported by @genome_gov Deciphering the impact of genomic variation on function rdcu.be/dSZdm

Understanding the function of an entire genome is no easy task! Most genes likely have more than one function. To understand the functional effects of genomic variation, NHGRI launched a consortium called Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF). genome.gov/news/IGVF

The application consists of an NIH-biosketch, ~2 page future research vision, teaching/mentoring statement, and contributions to diversity statement. No cover letter, past research, pdfs of preprints/papers, bespoke CV format needed! We will request letters for our shortlist.


Four last days to register! Symposium on 9/9. We have a great lineup of speakers, plenty of time to network and registration is free. genotech.ucsf.edu/home


Another beautiful story by Ari Daniel (@mesoplodon) @NPR on the Belize bat-a-thon and our work on how fruit eating bats can eat so much sugar and not get diabetes. Amazing work by @GreatWeiShark and Mai Nobuhara! npr.org/sections/goats…
