Great work by Alexander Kroll, he developed deep learning models for predicting the Km of metabolic enzymes 🥳 dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…
Very happy to see Esther Sundermann's work published: her model of ressource allocation in C3, C3-C4 and C4 plants allowed us to interpret modern physiology in the context of evolutionary environments nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

New paper out! Independent component analysis is key to understanding transcriptomics data
In a new publication, @asastry1 and colleagues show that a common structure underlies all E. coli gene expression datasets, and predict three novel regulons for the bacteria. bit.ly/3psmCsF @DTUBiosustain

Robust in vivo enzyme catalytic rates can be obtained from enzyme knockout strains that have undergone laboratory evolution. These results increase our confidence in these in vivo catalytic turnover rates. bit.ly/2ESrl5l @DTUBiosustain @UCSDJacobs
Very happy to have more work from my time at @ucsd_sbrg out. We estimated maximal in vivo catalytic rates in growth-optimized knock out strains and show that max rates are robust and consistent. Building on fantastic work by @dan_davidi and @MiloLabWIS. pnas.org/content/early/2020/…

Max is absolutely right. Lots of people in ML/DL know that causal inference is an important way to improve generalization.
The question is how to do it.
Prominent ML people like Bernhard Schölkopf, Léon Bottou and... diginomica.com/ai-curve-fitt…

Here’s our preprint on creating glow-in-the-dark plants. It is hard to find words to describe the fairytale feeling you get from being in a dark room with them.

Huimin Zhao shared this hilarious 1998 abstract on the “Directed Evolution of a Full Professor” at the #LSIsymposium2019. “A pool of grad student clones was [selected] on minimal money media & the ability to work long hours w/vending machine snacks as a sole carbon source.”

New preprint out: We estimated in vivo enzyme turnover numbers using metabolic knockout strains. The good news for modelers: these parameters are surprisingly stable and consistent, unlike in vitro turnover numbers. @ucsd_sbrg
