Thanks to all current/past team members, collaborators and colleagues! Honoured to be part of this group for the 6th year.

CEA for the PhD defense of Laura Turchi! All about transcription factors from biophysics to gene regulation prediction using #MachineLearning ! It was so cool. Congrats Laura. Francois🌼Parcy 🟦 Vandepoele lab looking forward to collaborate with u guys!

You need to convert a gene list from one genome annotation to a more recent one, but no conversion table is available? We implemented an efficient protocol to create such gene conversion table yourself. More info here (section 3.1): link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

No more figures in our publications with bad color combination! #moMA #NY

By giving it a chromatin accessibility profile, MINI-AC will provide a list of ranked regulators relevant for the specific context under study, and a functional gene regulatory network.
