Delighted to have collaborated with the Guy Rutter1 lab in this study linking long non coding RNA to epigenetic regulation in beta cells. 👌💯💪 cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Starting off the new year with a new paper! 🎆📰 Check out Jessica Mauer 's fantastic manuscript evaluating features influencing the accuracy of local ancestry inference in admixed populations. Tweetorial posted previously for the preprint below, and PDF at: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kN7dgeXA9Xy

Our mentor Casey Brown, apart from being an extraordinary scientist, was a brilliant teacher who loved everything genetics. In his honor, some of the world's leading experts came together to create the 'Casey Brown Lecture Series' on human genetics 1/ shorturl.at/eCm7S

It was great to be able to contribute the EP400 finding to this paper together with @Gianina_Natoli and Chiara Folland , flagging a novel CAG repeat locus in the EP400 gene as a likely (though extremely rare) cause of spinocerebellar ataxia when expanded beyond 55 repeats.

1. landing 'base' for knowledge on the human pancreas 2. harmonized donor meta-data spanning several sources in 1 place. 3. integrated single-cell browser 4. knowledge graph for eQTL results 5. complete access at all levels of data/results

New preprint on proteomics data from GTEx. 10,841 proteins measured in 700 samples (from 5 tissues) using mass spec. Fang, Jiang et al. medRxiv medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share the paper: Huntington's disease is a DNA process for almost all of a cell's life. Inherited HD alleles are innocuous, just unstable – CAG repeats slowy expand throughout life. We call it a "ticking DNA clock". cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

In my diversity supplement-funded graduate research, I used different types of mice to find DNA regions that alter susceptibility to air pollution. One of these regions is also found in humans and likely influences how people with lung diseases are affected by breathing pollution

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis

I will stop using this app, which I’ve been embarrassingly using for too long. I will use only @josepmercader.bsky.social from now on
