New year, new students! ✨

We are pleased to welcome Maria, who is going to be with us for a short time to learn everything you need to start a plant genomics project, from DNA extraction to sequencing, and of course we use ONT for our projects, with Julie teaching all new students about the technology! 🧬

Postdoc opportunity with @tomasbruna.bsky.social here at @jgi.doe.gov @berkeleylab.lbl.gov: Develop, benchmark, and apply Plant Genomic Language Models (gLMs) 🌿🧬💻 jobs.lbl.gov/jobs/computa... #AI #PlantGenomics #gLMs #Postdoc

Graphic announcing a Computational Postdoctoral Fellow position.  Text: Computational Postdoctoral Fellow – Plant Genomic Language Models (gLMs). JGI is seeking a Computational Postdoctoral Fellow to join a funded project at Berkeley Lab’s Joint Genome Institute applying genomic language models (gLMs) to unlock new biological insights in plants. Join one of the world’s leading genomics facilities to pioneer AI applications in plant biology, with access to cutting-edge computational resources and diverse genomic datasets. This project will focus on developing and exploring applications of gLMs to plant genomes, from identifying novel regulatory elements to revealing evolutionary patterns across species, with particular interest in cross-species and data-limited scenarios. In this role, you will design tasks and datasets to test and extend gLM capabilities, apply models to generate new biological hypotheses, and share findings through high-impact publications and presentations.
