I’m happy to share that since January, I have started my lab at the @comphealthmunich.bsky.social & Hauner CCRC (LMU) 🎉
We aim to combine single-cell, long-reads, computational modeling, and functional genomics to understand RNA-driven regulation in pediatric diseases.

JASPAR: An open-access database of transcription factor binding profiles JASPAR is the largest open-access database of curated and non-redundant transcription factor (TF) binding profiles from six different taxonomic groups.

JASPAR 2026 is out 🎉

The new release massively expands the TF motif collections and adds a dedicated DeepLearning collection of motifs learned from deep learning models.

Database: jaspar.elixir.no

Our paper on LARGE-scale benchmarking of motif discovery tools is published! nature.com/articles/s42...

It was a long, 7 years long journey, which coordinated efforts of 50+ researchers, proud to be on of them.

More results from Codebook about poorly studied TFs are coming soon.

I keep stumbling when, in biological data analysis, someone uses the word "noise" as if it represented an objectively existing, tangible thing.
It is not. Noise is just another word for ignorance. Complicated but in principle deterministic stuff that ...

I wrote a quick application note on Tomtom-lite, a Python implementation of the Tomtom algorithm for comparing PWMs against each other. This implementation can be 10-1000x faster and, as a Python function, can be integrated into your workflows easier.
