On #WorldTelecommunicationDay, imagine a data packet stuck ‘ON’ 📞. In Neurofibromatosis, the genetic “network admin” goes missing, leaving the Ras protein screaming “GROW!” indefinitely. This #NFAwareness Month, help us find the “off” button for the call that never ends. 🎗️💙 #EndNF #Genetics

Four bases. Two strands. One helix. Billions of years of evolution coiled into a double helix. We put one inside our new site. Find it. Win it. 🐍 #snakegame #tetris #games #win #genetics #snake

¡FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO! 🇲🇽🌮🧬🎉💃 #cincodemayo

Happy DNA Day! #Watson & #Crick published the 900-word paper, but #RosalindFranklin took the X-ray that proved the double helix existed. On National #DNADay, we remember her name. 🧬 We share 99.9% of our #DNA. That remaining 0.1%? That’s your story. Read yours: doppeldata.au

#Bicycle Day is April 19 - the day in 1943 when Albert Hofmann deliberately dosed himself with #LSD & had his lab assistant cycle him home through Basel because wartime restrictions had banned cars. It’s the most consequential commute in the history of #neuroscience.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🩸🧬 Hemophilia awareness starts with genetics. Today is #WorldHemophiliaDay. The 2026 theme "Equitable Access for All" demands that life-saving genetic care reaches every corner of the globe, not just the few. 🩸🌎 #Hemophilia #HealthEquity #WHD2026

Today in history 🚢👞 A toddler was pulled from the Titanic in 1912. No name. Buried as “The Unknown Child.” His boots were ordered destroyed. One officer kept them in his desk drawer instead. 99 years later, DNA did what history couldn’t. His name was Sidney Leslie Goodwin. He was 19 months old. 🧬

April 14, 2003: scientists mapped every gene in the human body. A private company tried to sell the data. The public raced them and gave it away free. They expected 100,000 genes. We have 20,000. Happy 23rd, HGP. 🧬 #HumanGenomeProject #OpenScience

Happy National Scrabble Day 🎲 Alfred Butts built the game by studying letter frequency. Your #genome runs on the same logic - 4 letters, infinite combinations, and one swap changes everything. In genomics we call that a variant. The letters aren’t the game. The interpretation is. 🧬 #Scrabble

Your spice tolerance isn’t a trait — it’s a #gene. Variants in the TRPV1 receptor determine how loudly your nervous system screams at chilli. Repeated exposure desensitises it. Cultures raised on #spicy #food aren’t tougher. They’re just trained. Genetics set the line. #Culture moved it. 🌶️

#Space Weekend In 2015: 🚀🧬 #NASA sent an astronaut to space for a year - and kept his identical #twin on Earth as the control. Same #genome. Completely different results. Telomeres grew. Gene expression shifted. The #DNA didn't change. The reading of it did. #Artemis

Easter Monday, but make it genomic. Tardigrades survive 30 years completely dead. No heartbeat. No metabolism. Add water, they walk away. Two genes do it: CAHS forms protective glass around cells. DSUP armours the DNA. Scientists just put them in human cells. Resurrection. Solved 500M years ago.

Today is World #Autism Day Autism is up to 91% heritable - but there’s no single #gene. There are thousands. Tiny variants. Rare de novo mutations. A polygenic architecture decades in the making. The genome doesn’t have an autism switch. It has a dimmer. #WorldAutismDay #Neurodiversity

🎉 Happy April Fools' Day - from your genome. Viruses don't break into your cells. They knock, dressed as something familiar, and your cell opens the door. But that's not the real prank. 🧵 [1/5]

🧵 The Milk Mutation 1/ Most of the world is lactose intolerant. 🥛 If you can drink a glass of milk as an adult without a stomach rebellion, you aren't the "standard" human. You’re actually a genetic mutant. Let’s talk about Lactase Persistence. 👇

This week in “science refusing to be simple”: Mark Corbett (Adel Uni) “A polygenic score for cerebral palsy” Friday, March 27th | 1.00pm–2.00ish Because one #gene would be far too convenient. Statistical genetics, polygenic scores, and biology causing problems. DM for details. #bioinformatics

Yes, I know. Five fingers in the video. Six in the image (see reply). Floating #DNA. A pipette that defies physics. #AI is trying. But here’s the thing - your #genome is now AI-interpreted. The difference? Ours actually knows what it’s doing. #Doppeldata: real genomics infrastructure, competent AI

Why juggle 12 tools when one does it all? Integrated bioinformatics = less switching, fewer errors, faster results. Swiss Army knife for genomics. 🧬 Join our workshops & community → doppeldata.au #bioinformatics

🍕 That friend who eats everything and stays thin? Partly genetics - FTO, MC4R, 300+ gene variants that tweak appetite, metabolic rate, fat storage. But they shift the dial by ~5-10kg. Your genome sets the difficulty level. It doesn’t play the game for you. #Genetics #Metabolism 🧬​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Excited to welcome Dr. Thilini Jayasinghe (Uni of Sydney) to our next #Microbiome Analysis Community Meeting! 💻️ 🧬 They’ll be presenting: "The vaginal and oral microbiome of women who experienced miscarriage." 🗓️ 24 March. All welcome! Agenda & join link 🔗 buff.ly/nxVgbOW #NCRISImpact

#Sinners has vampires, 16 #Oscar noms & a record-breaking campaign. Real talk: #mutations in the FECH #gene cause extreme UV sensitivity & skin pain — and some researchers link porphyria to early #vampire mythology. #Science is scarier than fiction. 🧬🧛🏻‍♀️ #Oscars2026 #Genetics #FunFact

Eight years old today and still entering every room like she owns the genome. Happy birthday Messi. Rescue cat. Tuxedo icon. Genetically incapable of a bad entrance. #HappyBirthday #Messi #TuxedoCat #RescueCat #Cat #Genetics

Avocados shouldn’t exist. 🥑 Their seed evolved for ice age giants - sloths, mastodons. All extinct 13,000 years ago, and #avocados should’ve gone with them. They survived because humans liked the taste. Congrats, you’re doing a giant sloth’s job. 🦥 #Evolution​​​​​​​​​​ #FoodFacts #GeneticFacts

#Bioinformatics Seminar: Are large cohort transcriptomics datasets just scRNA-seq… but with fewer zero counts? 🤔 Come find out with Stevie Pederson @smped.bsky.social this Friday, March 13, 1.00pm – 2.00ish Bring your questions and your curiosity. #RNAseq #Transcriptomics #Genomics #Adelaide

Your #data isn't the problem. The gap between 'I have data' and 'I have answers' is just bigger than anyone warns you about. That's literally why we exist. doppeldata.au #Genomics #Bioinformatics #Adelaide

🐾 Purebred #dogs are bred for looks. The genetic cost? Hip dysplasia. Breathing problems. Heart conditions. Rescue mutts carry diverse variants from multiple breeds - fewer disease mutations, more resilience. Genetic diversity is health insurance. Science says adopt. 🧬 #AdoptDontShop

🐱 HARDWIRED TO HUNT. Born to be wild Your #cat doesn't hunt because she's hungry - the chase circuit fires completely independently of #hunger. Genetically, the kill was never about the meal. 🧬 #CatScience #Genetics #CatBehaviour

🍌 You share 60% of your DNA with a #banana. The other 40%? That's where things like your brain, immune system and questionable taste in music come from. 🧬🎶 #Genomics is all about understanding that difference - and it's way more interesting than it sounds. #TIL #FoodPorn

🍎 Plant a Fuji seed? You won’t get a Fuji tree. #Apples are extreme heterozygotes - every seed = a genetically unique tree. That Granny Smith in your hand? A clone of a tree from Sydney, 1868. A copy of a copy of a copy. #GeneticFacts #Gardening #PlantScience

If your “pipeline” includes: download → rename → upload → repeat → 😭 …this seminar is for you. 😅 Dave Lawrence & Juan Carlos Sanchez (SAPath) “Automating SA Pathology Pipelines to Upload Data to VariantGrid via APIs” Today | 1:00–2:00ish DM for zoom & location #Bioinformatics #Genomics #APIs

#Genetic data alone can mislead. #Visualise it with context to see the real #story - patterns in CNV, SV, ROH, and expression reveal insights you can't get from numbers alone. Follow for more 👆🏻 #DidYouKnow #DataScience #DNA #Genomics #Doppeldata #Facts #Science #TIL

🌻 Sunflowers aren’t mystical - they’re genetic geometry. New seeds form at ~137.5° (the golden angle), naturally creating #Fibonacci spirals (often 34 one way, 55 the other). #Evolution didn’t learn maths - it selected efficient packing. 🧬✨ #GeneticFacts #STEM #Science #Bioinformatics #Maths

Variant calling is fun… until pseudogenes show up and cause chaos. 😈🧬 #Bioinformatics seminar this Friday: Yasir Kusay (SA Pathology) on how pseudogenes trip up PRSS1/2 + IKBKG diagnosis. Feb 20 | 1pm – 2-ish Reach out for Zoom or location details. #ClinicalGenomics #Adelaide #SAPath

Top bioinformatics challenges for researchers & how to tackle them 🧬 1. Big data → automate pipelines 2. Coding gaps → partner with experts 3. Data integration → standardise early 4. Tool overload → join communities 5. Complex results → collaborate #Bioinformatics #Genomics

🌽 Corn Had the Ultimate Glow-Up 9,000 years ago, corn was a scraggly grass with maybe 12 kernels. Humans selectively bred it into what you eat today. That was #genomics before we had a word for it. Now we do it with #DNA data instead of guesswork. 🌾 #GeneticFacts

Fun fact: Calico cats are a masterpiece of chromosomal biology. 🐈‍⬛ The patchwork occurs when female cells randomly silence one X chromosome (X-inactivation). If you find a male calico, he’s likely XXY and a biological rarity. Science has never looked fluffier. 🧬✨ #GeneticFacts

🌿 If #coriander tastes like #soap to you, you’re not being dramatic. Variants near the OR6A2 gene change how your olfactory receptors detect aldehydes in the leaves. You’re literally tasting a different molecule than your coriander-loving friends. #Genetics: settling dinner arguments since forever
