Huge congratulations to @golnaz_v and @vahedilab! 🎉🥳👏 https://twitter.com/golnaz_v/status/1394637167083724802
I am thrilled to share that I have been promoted with tenure @PennMedicine ! Feeling incredibly grateful to my fantastic colleagues and mentors @PennGenetics @Penn_IFI @PennEpiInst and all of the amazing members of our lab! The best sticky note to frame from them on this occasion
Stripenn can be applied to any type of chromatin conformation capture data such as Hi-C, HiChIP, and Micro-C. The comparison of Stripenn with previously developed stripe callers revealed that relying on edge detection algorithms is highly beneficial.
The backbone of our novel method relies on Canny edge detection, one of the most popular edge detection algorithms in the mature field of computer vision.
