Exciting new conference!

Congrats Manvendra, well deserved!

GA4GH April Connect 2026 registration and session proposal submissions are now open! The meeting will take place from 14 to 17 April 2026 in Montreal, Canada. We invite the GA4GH community to submit session proposals by 30 January. Learn more: broadinstitute.swoogo.com/connect26/10...

Exciting! Glad to see the Gold Cohort starting to get used for new discoveries!

Excited to share our preprint on the “Integrated Metabolic Complex Genetic Interaction Network of Chromosome 4p Loss in Basal Breast Cancer” led by @lynnkaram.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Such a great @ga4gh.org meeting in Uppsala this past week. Genomics, with the help of GA4GH standards and policies, is really moving into the Age of Implementation globally!

If you’re planning to be at ASHG, you should go see the poster ⬇️

Wow, great summary!

Thanks for sharing our work, @guilbourque.bsky.social! This work will also be presented at the #ASHG2025 conference on Wednesday, October 15th, in Boston!! My poster can be found at Board 1100W at the Thomas M. Menino Convention Center. Come and talk to me 🧬!!

🚨 New paper alert on telomeres! 🚨 Something different from the group! Thanks to Yuxin, a talented student in the lab, we used long-reads in 75 human trios to study telomeres and their inheritance.

So inspiring to run with Darryl Fox to support Terry’s dream and the @marathonofhope.bsky.social

Looks like my book is available for pre-order: a.co/d/cTKIwBN #EpigeneticsBook

Excited for the start of the Croucher Retrotransposons meeting organized by Danny Leung in Hong Kong. First speaker, the King of Krabs! projects.croucher.org.hk/advanced-stu...

The issue that jumped at us in the current annotation of young LTR subfamilies in human, is that there was lot of variability in divergence rate (sometimes bimodal). That's what we tried to improve.

Is the annotation of viruses in the human genome accurate? We think not. Take a look at our new paper and let us know if you agree! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Lentivirus massively parallel reporter assays integrate & enrich for specific sequences in the genome. We utilize this to test their epigenetic modifications & open chromatin alongside their regulatory activity. Amazing work by Zicong Zhang, Fumitaka Inoue & others. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The human pangenome continues to grow and improve! Release 2 is here! Click through for the details, but this is a pretty amazing dataset including not just the phased assemblies, but PacBio HiFi, ONT Ultralong, Dovetail/Illumina Hi-C, PacBio Kinnex, and Illumina WGS for all samples

Canada’s genomics community is rising to the challenge. ➡️ We’re sequencing 100K human genomes in 4 years to give researchers and innovators the data they need to transform health care. Learn how the diversity of the dataset we build will set Canada apart as a global leader in #PrecisionHealth.

Excellent opportunity for PI positions at the Genome Institute of Singapore! Outstanding facilities, latest genomic technologies, strong and stable science funding. Junior candidates and established scientists are welcome to apply

Bye bye magical Kyoto, see you next time!

Check out the new STR tool from @davidlougheed.bsky.social in the group! Works with both PacBio and Nanopore!

Yeah, great one!

On January 6th, 1995, my (now ex) wife and I boarded a flight from Heathrow to JFK on a one way ticket. We had two suitcases and about $900 in cash - this was everything we owned and we were moving to the US. We thought it was maybe for 2-3 years. I had visited the US once, for a conference, and

We are recruiting! We have an open position for a postdoctoral fellow to join our team at the Genome Institute of Singapore to work with long read RNA-Seq data. It’s a beautiful city state and outstanding research environment! More details here: jglab.org/postdoc-posi...

Amazing! So moving. Such an important cause.

Time for #MadeInCanada! madeinca.ca

Thanks for sharing this very nice story of collaboration!

Dear all, registrations are open for the Mobile Genome @EMBO workshop. Many slots for posters, short talks but also long talks for last minute groundbreaking results! Let’s meet again on Nov 4-7, 2025 in Heidelberg. www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Back in Barbados!

Two months ago, Jeffrey from lab also became Dr. Hyacinthe! His thesis was: "An Atlas of Transposable Elements Associated with the Epigenome Across Human Cell Types"

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Zhuang! Well done! His thesis was about: "Unveiling Sex-Biased Patterns in RNA Expression and DNA Methylation in Mice Organs".

Important to support data infrastructures! I signed!

Absolutely! Thanks again for doing most of the planning work.

Wow, that’s quite a poster session #MBSJ2024! And it’s only half of it…

Thank you #bsky! So nice to have a news feed filled with #science once again!

Long-read special issue of GR is out, including our paper on T2T assembly using only Nanopore. Just in time for ONT to discontinue duplex cells on Nov 27 😅😂 Good thing Verkko also works great with HERRO-corrected simplex data! 📄 genome.cshlp.org/content/34/1... 📖 genome.cshlp.org/content/34/1...

I will be at my first large Japanese conference next week (MBSJ in Fukuoka). I'm organizing a session on computational epigenomic methods with Ryuichiro Nakato. Let me know if you're also planning to be there! www.aeplan.jp/mbsj2024/en-...

Tracking transposable element (TE) activity in genomics data can be a pain, but there are solutions! Our lab built TEtranscripts -- which we've updated to work for small RNAs (TEsmall), bulk RNA at the locus level (TElocal), and in single-cell data (TEsingle). Check it out! www.mghlab.org/software

Looking for postdoc for the lab in Kyoto 🇯🇵 to work on comparative epigenomics and transposable elements. #TEsky Come work with us in this awesome city and institute! ashbi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/wp/wp-conten...

Hi! Only two more weeks to register for #ICTE2024 & to submit an abstract for a talk on one of the different topics below: 1) TEs, genome evolution and adaptation 2) TEs in health and disease 3) TE control & epigenetics 4) Transposition mechanisms and applications See you soon! #TEsky
