Our new preprint is out! We optimized our open-source platform, HyDrop (v2), for scATAC sequencing and generated new atlases for the mouse cortex and Drosophila embryo with 607k cells. Now, we can train sequence-to-function models on data generated with HyDrop v2!

We released our preprint on the CREsted package. CREsted allows for complete modeling of cell type-specific enhancer codes from scATAC-seq data. We demonstrate CREsted’s robust functionality in various species and tissues, and in vivo validate our findings: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Most proteins fold co-translationally, but what if key residues aren’t available in time? Our new study introduces Native Fold Delay, a metric that links protein topology and translation rates to quantify folding delays. ⏳

Native Fold Delay and its implications for co-translational chaperone binding and protein aggregation - Nature Communications
During vectorial protein translation, native interactions are temporarily unsatisfied. Here, authors introduce “Native Fold Delay”, integrating protein topology with translation kinetics to quantify t...

Just very happy to have our paper out today! A big thanks to all our co-authors, and to Nikolai and @steinaerts.bsky.social for the teamwork over the past years. If you are interested in using our models for cross-species enhancer studies, check out crested.readthedocs.io/en/stable/mo... 🙂
In a new study, Nikolai Hecker, Niklas Kempynck et al. in the team of @steinaerts.bsky.social explore 300 million years of brain evolution through the lens of enhancer codes.

Enhancer-driven cell type comparison reveals similarities between the mammalian and bird pallium
Combinations of transcription factors govern the identity of cell types, which is reflected by genomic enhancer codes. We used deep learning to characterize these enhancer codes and devised three metr...
