A thread on some of the fascinating noncoding genetic discoveries from 2024. I've written long form posts and discussed on The Genetics Podcast about these stories. I'll share links to all below with a brief summary.

Absolutely thrilled to be part of this ground breaking study with David R. Liu and so many others. One of the most important studies since discovery of the AHC gene in 2012.
