# CCTB Deep Learning Journal Club

The idea is not only to discuss papers about deep learning and its applications, but also to use it as learning opportunity and to try out implementations - anyone is welcome to join, regardless of experience.

## Next DLJC

Thursday, July 7th, at 13:00

Vaishnav et al, [*The evolution, evolvability and engineering of gene regulatory DNA*](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04506-6), Nature (2022)
> detecting signatures of natural selection in non-coding DNA

## Zotero group

We have a [Zotero group](https://www.zotero.org/groups/2172420/cctb_deep_learning_journal_club/library) to collect papers - you can join with your Zotero login to add your own suggestions, or just [view it on the web](https://www.zotero.org/groups/2172420/cctb_deep_learning_journal_club/library).

## Mattermost 

The [deep-learning](https://cctb-intern.biologie.uni-wuerzburg.de/cctb/channels/deep-learning) channel is for suggesting and selecting papers, and for announcements.
