Arc Institute
@arcinstitute
A full-stack institute for AI and biology research.
- The Proto team from @BrianHie's lab will be at the re:AGENT hackathon, a two-day weekend (8/15–8/16) in San Francisco for people interested in building AI scientists, datasets, or pipelines for biological design. Apply by Thursday, July 30th, 12 PM PT at luma.com/g6org075
- Congrats to Science Fellow @zhou_jingtian and team on their human epigenome atlas, now out in @ScienceMagazine. They show that grouping cells by DNA methylation or chromatin structure yields different subtypes in some lineages but not others: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…New preprint: The first whole-body map of both DNA methylation and 3D genome organization at single-cell resolution across 16 human tissues, with in-depth analyses of cell type diversity of these epigenome modalities at unprecedented resolutions. (1/5)
- We are hiring for a number of AIxBio positions across the organization, including Directors of Machine Learning for each of our Institute Initiatives and postdoctoral fellows focused on ML for Biology and Biological Design in @pdhsu's lab. Learn more or apply here:
- Complex I is the largest complex of the electron transport chain and the entry point for electrons that power ATP production. New work from Core Investigator @ishahjain and team identifies THAP12 as a dedicated transcription factor controlling how much Complex I a cell builds.
