Incredibly lucky my first grad paper was published there. Terri was the editor and accepted it after the 1st round which gave me so much optimism starting out. We’re lucky to have had her.

Beyond new DL models, this work was only possible thanks to high-quality epigenomic #ENCODE datasets and massive VISTA collection of validated enhancers built over 20+ years by @axelvisel.bsky.social, Pennacchio and Rubin labs.
