Result of a great collaboration between @unituebingen.bsky.social and @boehringerglobal.bsky.social through the AI & Data Science Fellowship program, where we develop innovative AI approaches with direct implications for pharmaceutical industry.
Do you know bulk transcriptome deconvolution? 🤔
In our preprint we introduce GrooD (GradientBoostedDeconvolution), which employs a holistic view to the deconvolution problem to deconvolve bulk transcriptomes into the underlying cell type proportions.

A childhood dream has come true – I was appointed Full Professor for Sustainable Biotechnology at the University of Düsseldorf @hhu.de : tinyurl.com/f43s74hp and as Director of the Institute for Molecular Enzyme Technology (IMET, www.iet.uni-duesseldorf.de/en/) at FZ Jülich @fz-juelich.de .
@cmfi.bsky.social continues its international conference series: come to Tübingen in 2027!
Excited to see our FML Research Group Leader
@luisapallares.bsky.social
in the latest Max Planck Research! 🎉
The article follows her journey from Colombia to Germany and her work on how genes and environment shape complex traits using fruit flies.

➡️ preprint from the lab! Bacteria have loads of antiviral defences in their mobile genetic elements (MGEs). So when MGEs move between bacteria, the defences move with them, generating a fast turnover of defences in bacteria. But what about the antiviral defence turnover in the MGEs themselves? 🤔

On this day on February 26, 1948, the Max Planck Society was formally founded in Göttingen as the successor organization to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, in the cafeteria of the KWS's aerodynamic testing facility in Göttingen.
Happy birthday to....well, to us, actually! 😉🎂🥳 On this day on February 26, 1948, the Max Planck Society was formally founded in Göttingen as the successor organization to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, in the cafeteria of the KWS's aerodynamic testing facility in Göttingen.
PhD position open! Bioinformatics | Python | Phytoplankton genomics | Deep learning. Funded until 2029. If you love code AND biology, we want to hear from you. Deadline: March 15! www.uni-greifswald.de/en/universit...
Have you ever wondered 🤔... Does phenotypic variance respond to environmental perturbation? Does it have a genetic basis? Are mean and variance regulating loci exposed to different selection pressures? These and more questions are explored in our new preprint 🔥

How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller?
Excited to share our latest work in @science.org on a new small polymerase.

Das russische Justizministerium hat den @daadworldwide.bsky.social als „unerwünschte Organisation“ eingestuft. Ein Rückschlag für die internationale Wissenschaft. Forschung braucht Offenheit und Austausch – mein Bedauern gilt allen Betroffenen.
