Jonathan presented his research at ECCB on developing a deep learning model to predict gene expression levels based on promoter sequences.

Very proud to present our work on "Generating, modeling and evaluating a large-scale set of CRISPR/Cas9 off-target sites with bulges" published in NAR. In this study, Ofir Yaish generated the most comprehensive dataset of CRISPR off-targets with bulges.

​

A new paper titled "Efficient minimizer orders for large values of k using minimum decycling sets" is now published in Genome Research.

​

A new paper titled "An overview on nucleic-acid G-quadruplex prediction: from rule-based methods to deep neural networks" is now published in Briefings in Bioinformatics.​

Our paper on predicting G-quadruplex propensity from a DNA sequence is finally published. We trained G4mismatch, a CNN to predict G4 mismatch scores, on G4-seq data (nearly 400 million data points across the human genome).​
