📢 #TOPMed e/sQTL atlas is out in @science.org today! Happy to contribute to this amazing team effort and rich resource for the genomics community: 69k cis-eQTL + 35k cis-sQTL across 6 tissues/cell types and diverse ancestries. Still more to discover 😉🧬 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New paper 🧵 What if the "landscape" that guides cell differentiation isn't fixed, but is sculpted, in real time, by the very cells moving through it? We call this a 'sandscape' : grains of sand that carve dunes as they move, while the dunes' shape simultaneously steers where the grains go next.

[life of an Academic editor]: after 99 days and 14 declined or ignored invitations to review a manuscript, finally, FINALLY, one accepted. Just need to find another one and this paper will be reviewed. Keep the faith, authors...

Happy to share our new review in Blood, led by Jiaoyi Chen & Benson Wu! We explore how DNA methylation can help retrace a cancer’s history and reveal how tumours evolve and respond to treatment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

WHAT A GAME!!! Let’s go Knicks!!!

I don’t know the details of that particular story and it sounds amazing. But WHY are we giving all the credits to « AI » when it’s the results of a ton of people’s great work (to set up the program, run sequencing and bioinformatics analyses, multi-disciplinary medical boards, etc)?

#RIP Pierre Chambon (1931-2026) via @alainberetz.bsky.social one of the last giants in biology: PARP, nuclear receptors, RNA Pol II, nucleosome, promoters, split genes

⚠️Preprint alert⚠️: we set up Polyethnic-1000 at @nygenome.org to study the molecular basis of cancer disparities. One striking example is endometrial cancer, with much higher mortality in patients of African ancestry.

of many projects Craig Venter led, of personal significance was the fly genome, a unique and i think unexpected collaboration of his company Celera Genomics and the BDGP, led by my pd advisor Gerry Rubin. the power of a shotgun sequenced metazoan, benchmarked to a physical map, transformed genomics.

J. Craig Venter, a scientist and entrepreneur who decoded the human genome, has died at 79.

Our new paper, led by @renatopolimanti.bsky.social and I, and published today in Nature Genetics, is the largest multi-ancestry GWAS of endometriosis to date including 1.4 million women, 105,869 cases, six global ancestry groups. Previous studies were almost exclusively European.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

📖 My book BEYOND INHERITANCE is out today. tinyurl.com/5yjsr97n This journey started with a fact I couldn’t ignore: Even in otherwise healthy adults, mutant cells can appear in the blood—quietly doubling the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Deep QC should run on every sequencing dataset. In a new post, Fulcrum co-founder @tfenne.bsky.social explains why he built Riker, a modern successor to Picard designed to make rich sequencing QC fast enough to run every time. Blog: shorturl.at/oUTXk Repo: github.com/fulcrumgenom...
