Congrats @Philip_M_Boone on receiving the ASHG Award for Outstanding Early Career Publication! He's a clinical geneticist and Instructor in my lab studying the impact of mutations in cohesin complex genes on genome organization and a cluster of syndromes known as cohesinopathies

@aaronquinlan presenting great science as always on elevated mutation rates in male sperm and implications for infertility. Nice to see 'Chair' now in his title. So well deserved and inspired choice by U Utah Genetics.
AGBT Meeting@agbt

Day 2 at @AGBT Precision Health 2024 brings another group of incredible speakers including Kyle Farh from @illumina, @aaronquinlan from @UofUGenetics and @ontowonka from @CUSystem. See you there! #AGBTPH

Fantastic start to #AGBTPH. Perfect lineup of Nancy Cox on heritability of lab values and biomarker studies, @jorsmo on remarkable progress in neuropsychiatric genetics and suicide prevention, @EimearEKenny fabulous studies of diversity in BioMe, and abstract speaker @LimdiNita.
AGBT Meeting@agbt

START ME UP! Co-Chairs @NHGRI_Director from @genome_gov and Mike Talkowski from @MassGeneralNews and @TalkowskiLab take the stage and kick off Day 1 at AGBT Precision Health 2024. #AGBTPH

Looking for ~1.2M structural variants across diverse populations 👀 Our latest @gnomad_project SV datasets are now released from exome and genome sequencing 🥳 If you are here at #ASHG23 the great @JFuBiostats will give a talk today (11/2) at 1:45pm in Rm. 202A.
Genome Aggregation Database@gnomad_project

As part of #gnomAD v4, in collaboration with the @TalkowskiLab, we have released 1,199,117 genome SVs and 66,903 rare exome CNVs. These data represent the first gnomAD SV dataset released native to the GRCh38 reference genome. (1/2)

The new @gnomad_project release is finally here - well ahead of ASHG👏🎉 It has been a monumental effort from to bring this resource to the field. More to come on structural variants later but for now - huge congrats and thank you to all members of the amazing gnomAD team!!
Genome Aggregation Database@gnomad_project

The #gnomAD team is proud to announce the release of gnomAD v4! The v4 dataset includes 730,947 exomes & 76,215 genomes, which is ~5x larger than the v2 & v3 releases combined, & includes nearly 120K indivs of non-European genetic ancestry broad.io/gnomad_v4 #ASHG23 (1/11)

My older brother, Michael R. Green, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 69 late last week. This is a huge loss -- for his wife Maria, for @UMassChan, for me, for science.

@anshulkundaje I have never heard a compelling reason why funds that could be used for trainees & experiments should go to journal OA fees when preprint & PMC (last version) are already OA. Funders just need to accept preprint/PMC as satisfying OA req (bonus 👉 more incentive to preprint ).

Question: what's the actual benefit of overpriced "open access" at journals, if the paper is on biorxiv and will be open access via PMC in a few months post publication? Some highway robbery journals are charging like 10K for "open access". Makes no sense. What am I missing?

MT for Rachita Yadav (@RYbioinfo) #ASHG22: Causal mechanism was alternative splicing of exon 32 + intron retention. TAF1 expression was reduced in patients, but not by much. TAF1 is very constrained so males really cannot tolerate losing their copy.

OK folks, it’s time to start looking at the non-coding portion of the genome! We hope you’ll make use of our newest addition to the @gnomad_project browser - genomic constraint across the entire genome. Special thanks to Siwei @sc2643 and many other members of the gnomAD team!
Genome Aggregation Database@gnomad_project

Genomic constraint metric is now available on the #gnomAD browser. To learn more about the genomic constraint metric view the preprint on bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) or attend @sc2643’s #ASHG22 platform presentation on 10/28 10:30am in rm 502

As some know, my 5-year contract as FIMM Director ends at the end of 2022 and I have informed the University of Helsinki in September that I will not seek a renewal as it is time for our family to return home to Boston. 1/4
