🎆I am beyond thrilled to announce that I will be joining @Concordia Biology department as an Associate Professor in the Fall 2024! My Computational Genomics lab will use multi-omics to understand environmental and genetic contributions to human health. 🧬🧑‍💻

Collectively, mapping the landscape of autosomal mCAs in populations of diverse ancestry illustrates similarities but also highlights important ancestry, geographic, and sex differences.

We also showed how mCAs impact blood transcriptomes, implicating stabilizing selection as a mechanism by which copy number gain mutations are tolerated in healthy blood.

My first time awarding a PhD to a candidate, what a precious honour. Keep up the good work, students!

Big, beautiful trees!! SMART-PTA for whole-genome+transcriptome on thousand of single cells from the normal human esophagus 🤯 Massively scaling up the power of scWGS to build deep phylogenies and chart somatic evolution from birth throughout life. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Friends and colleagues, I’ve written a book on effective functional genomics study design, which will be available on Amazon in a couple of weeks. Sharing the TOC to spark interest. I hope students will find it useful! I’ll share updates soon

In a new preprint led by @TheNikhilMilind, we explored a fascinating paradox: For many traits the number of duplications or loss-of-function (LoF) mutations is correlated with phenotype. Curiously, for most traits, the AVERAGE direction of LoFs and Dups is the SAME. Why?

@ATJCagan I feel so honored!!! Thanks 🙏

@DavidEnard very cool! This is making its way into my pop and conservation genetics course!

You can do it come one come on come on little paper

@jeanmarcheur @MTL_Ville La piste de Barclay en est truffée ces temps-ci! En plus des gros bacs à vidange/compost/recyclage et trucs bizarres abandonnés sur la piste... c'est du cyclocross!

Les cyclistes ne sont pas des citoyens de seconde classe @MTL_Ville, positionner un panneau pour les automobilistes en plein milieu d’une piste cyclable n’est pas acceptable, merci de former la construction sur ces enjeux.

@smlacombe Dispo par Lufa aussi! Leur poulet au beurre est délicieux.

Our lab has a #molecular lab assistant position available for the next several months that we are looking to fill asap. Flexible hours, part- or full-time. Come join a great team and work on some super cool #fish #genomics projects! @IKGenFisheries @Concordia

@jacouzi Je travaille fort sur ces chiffres 😁 J'aurais cru que le one-way causerait plus d'émoi que le parking. Il y a quand même, beaucoup, beaucoup de cases de parking tout le long des 2 bords... et quasi aucune vignette.

Scientific journals charging for COLOUR FIGURE FEES. Such an 80s vibe.
