Ever wonder how the genome of human brains compares with macaque, marmoset, mouse, rat, cat, rabbit, horse, and cow? Wonder no longer! Check out a really cool pre-print from my very talented graduate student @Ashlyn_Anderso on multiomics across mammals: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am not normally an alarmist, but these are not normal times. This change would cripple research infrastructure at hundreds of US institutions, and threatens to end our global superiority in scientific research. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

Hey there mr blue, we’re so pleased to be with you. Same username 🦋

Only the 1st installment with much more to come…the 1st ReDLat Genomics Report 🧬 highlights ancestral background and pathogenic variation! Full-sized ms w/local ancestry mapping, pedigrees, + detailed clinical vignettes will be in published paper! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

For various reasons, I'm putting together a list of New PIs (< 5 years as lab heads) in the eukaryotic gene regulation/functional genomics space. If you know of any -or are one yourself- please reply below! 😊

It's Alzheimer's Awareness Month & we're thrilled to share a special guest post on Everyday DNA: @hauser_becky from @jNickCochran's lab! Dive into her insightful piece to learn more about Alzheimer's disease & the steps HudsonAlpha researchers are taking: hudsonalpha.org/alzheimers-dis…

IN THE NEWS: @UAB_Alzheimers has been awarded an estimated $21.4 million, 5-year grant by the @NIHAging, part of the @NIH. The new grant will allow the team to extend its efforts toward advancing research in dementia disparities in the region. @UABHeersink go.uab.edu/4ekqp69

Excited to share our paper #BrainTF is published in @NatureNeuro. We profiled #TF binding using ChIP-seq for over 100 TFs across 9 brain regions, along with ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, and DNA methylation on postmortem human brain tissue. nature.com/articles/s4159… 1/

Very excited for one of the main projects from my first R01 to be published today in @alzdemjournals. Led by @dwsir and @C_WSolsberg, we’ve identified expansion of IFN-driven T cells in patients w/non-familial AD with onset age<65yrs. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… 1/3

The @KodaniLab is looking for a talented lab manager and senior scientist. Come join us @hudsonalpha and work alongside @nnuzhat and @MarkMackiewicz! Please pass this along to anyone you think would be interested. Thank you! hudsonalpha.applicantpro.com/jobs/3367862 hudsonalpha.applicantpro.com/jobs/3367866

I am over the moon (now that the visa is underway) to finally announce that I will by starting my own independent research group at the amazing University of Alabama at Birmingham! This is a dream come true - and I will be recruiting! We focus on kindness, collaboration 1/n
