Omnibenchmark: transparent, reproducible, extensible and standardized orchestration of solo and collaborative benchmarks Benchmarking involves designing, running and disseminating rigorous performance assessments of methods, most often for data analysis and software tools, but the process can also be applied to experime...

So, this should be quite interesting!

We just posted a BIG update to our Omnibenchmark "framework", basically a software layer to help you manage, build, standardize, and orchestrate reproducible and extensible (computational method) benchmarks .. (quite a mouthful) ..

A genomic view of Earth’s biomes Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 15 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s41576-025-00888-1Genome-wide approaches have uncovered the vast microbial and viral diversity across ecosystems. This Review explores advances in metagenomics, single-cell sequencing and functional profiling to elucidate the evolution, biogeography and ecological dynamics of Earth’s microbiomes.

Transcription factor networks disproportionately enrich for heritability of blood cell phenotypes Most phenotype-associated genetic variants map to noncoding regulatory regions of the human genome, but their mechanisms remain elusive in most cases. We developed a highly efficient strategy, Perturb...

What if you could chart cells' regulatory programs at unprecedented resolution?
In my work with Jorge Martin-Rufino from the @bloodgenes.bsky.social lab, we dissect the genome’s control circuits and find where key genetic variation hides

How to write a grant?
1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant.
2. Communicate in stories.
3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps.
4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading.
5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review.
