Explore seeing yourself in a mentor who sees you with Dr Harriet Dashnow, PhD, and her mentee Laurel Hiatt (they|he). Hiatt recalls how Dashnow was the advocate they didn't realize they needed. Learn more about their journey to discovering their AuDHD diagnosis ▶️ bit.ly/47rY8Ym


Great talk by Dr Harriet Dashnow on TRGT de novo at #BMH2024 I didn't know that the mutation rate for repeats was so high. Preprint out now for this work here biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


It was a privilege to be invited to speak at #BMH2024 in Melbourne, and great to catch up with my COMBINE mentor Dr Harriet Dashnow 🎉✨️ thanks to Belinda Phipson and Jessica Mar for your support ❤️



How is our genome like a pizza? If you didn't think a de novo tandem repeat mutation could make you hungry, this is the post for you. news.cuanschutz.edu/dbmi/exploring… Thank you, Melinda, for the awesome write-up! CU Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) #STRs #VNTRs #PlatinumPedigree

De novo mutations lead to unique genetic variations when DNA is copied. Explore how Dr Harriet Dashnow, PhD, and researchers at CU School of Medicine, University of Utah, University of Washington, and PacBio are using long-read data sequencing to analyze more repetitive and complex genome regions ▶️ bit.ly/4eMYdIE



Very cool new work by Hope Tanudisastro on the contribution of tandem repeat variants to gene expression in single cells! Check it out.

The ASHG Annual Meeting kicks off today! If you're attending, make sure to check out the cutting-edge research from CU School of Medicine, including work by Dr Harriet Dashnow, PhD. Don't miss out on exploring the innovative research from our DBMI faculty ▶️ bit.ly/3UlWFgG


Come see the Dashnow lab #ASHG24 posters at 2:30 today! 1067 - me on tandem repeat de novos in the Platinum Pedigree 1173 - Avvaru Akshay on Ribbit: identifying complex tandem repeats in genomes



Check out Laurel Hiatt (they|he)'s poster today 3071F! They are presenting our TR disease database and population prevalence work strchive.org #ASHG24 CU Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI)


New research from Dr Harriet Dashnow, University of Utah Health, University of Washington and PacBio shows that parts of the human genome change much faster than was previously known, laying the foundations for new insights into the roots of human disease and evolution.
