Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Putting on the replay. Don’t tell me what happens 😄

My lab at hiring! - we have TWO postdoc positions (one computational, one wet lab focussed) at Yale @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social, working closely with our group members at University of Cambridge, UK @cambridgeuni.bsky.social Please help to spread the word! Adverts with full details below ⬇️

Celebrating all of the amazing women in science I've had as mentors, role models, colleagues and friends 🧬👩‍💻🧪

A phenomenal effort to bring this together with so many interesting aspects of how genetic background influences cancer development. I'm honoured to have been part of this project!

🌟NEW PREPRINT ALERT!🌟 We are very pleased to introduce #StrainDifferences: “Genetic background sets the trajectory of cancer evolution” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵[1/12]

Abstract submissions are still open for the CSHL Network Biology meeting in March 11 - 15 2025 (abstract deadline: Jan 10). A large fraction of talks will be selected from the abstracts. On behalf of the organizers, we look forward to welcoming you there. meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.asp...

I’ve just read this pre-print and it’s fantastic. A conserved element with no endogenous enhancer activity is nonetheless necessary and sufficient for extreme long range enhancer action. Recommend to anyone interested in gene regulation

This looks like a great meeting! In a great place too

The events of this week suggest that the excitement and hype around AI in science won’t be dying down anytime soon

The use of the phrase “ancestry-specific variant” is increasing, particularly to describe rare Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs). But these alleles are not ancestry-specific. They have not yet been found elsewhere, but they will be. 1/n

At the forefront of research involving long-read sequence data, JAX's @christinebeck.bsky.social & Peter Audano discuss how adjustments to the technical and analytical infrastructure are needed. Read more in their recent Genome Research paper 🧪🤝🖥️ 🧬 : www.jax.org/news-and-ins...
