Our updated work led by @ekernf01 explores gene expression forecasting including benchmarking existing methods and discussing why frustratingly simple baselines - even the mean or median (!), let alone linear predictors - have been hard to beat.
Today, I'm excited to present the second big chunk of my Ph.D. work. We are building a thorough assessment of the burgeoning field of gene expression forecasting. Something is deeply wrong.🧵 - Preprint: - Code:

At dinner last night, out with a table full of (awesome) women scientists, men literally came up to our table simply to say “I’m sorry”. Apparently felt compelled to apologize to women on behalf of the world.
