"Discovering coding sequences using Transformer networks"

Tool Link: https://github.com/TRISTAN-ORF/TRISTANAbstract

Abstract

The biological process of RNA translation is fundamental to cellular life and has wide-ranging implications for human disease. Accurate delineation of RNA translation variation represents a significant challenge due to the complexity of the process and technical limitations. We explore the use of a transformer-based networks to leverage the analysis of transcript sequences and ribosome profiling data. I will detail the implementation of this model and how it is currently used in ongoing studies to discover translation products.

Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning (Transformer Circuits)
Matthew O'Meara, PhD and his lab are hosting what we're calling Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning. This year it will be a multi-part journal club on Transformer Circuits. We're going to start with Grokking and touch on lazy/rich training regimes, thermodynamics and phase transitions. The aim is to make the math accessible while getting into advanced topics.
Event runs May 22, 2026 - July 17, 2026

CCMB Tuesday Popup: Gen AI Workshop (Session 2)
A hands-on, interactive workshop in partnership with DCMB focused on practical GenAI skill-building, covering Google Gemini and NotebookLM, prompt engineering, and the safe, ethical use of AI in your research. Bring your laptop!
