@iskander Yeah. You just need a lot more $$$ and (maybe) better quality source of tumor tissue.

Just realized you don’t need DNA to find almost all expressed somatic variants if you have long read scRNA

Help the DGIdb development team understand how we can better promote hypothesis generation and interaction data sets for the biomedical and clinical research community. Take 5 minutes to share how you use DGIdb and what we can improve for your research: forms.gle/ohrk49dmHMPXzY…

The ITCR Training Network (ITN) itcrtraining.org develops training materials for informatics and research. We have a short survey ~3-9 min about your experience & preferences for learning as a researcher. Link: xiar7j-itn.shinyapps.io/itn_follow_up/

It will also be delivered in parallel using a distributed in-person model in Saskatoon. bioinformatics.ca/workshops-all/…

Excited to announce that we will be delivering a Canadian Bioinformatics Workshop (CBW) covering RNA-seq analysis and general bioinformatics this summer in Toronto. Hosted by Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR). bioinformatics.ca/workshops-all/…

@malachigriffith Looking forward to it!

DGIdb is currently planning new feature sets for our next development cycle! Features under consideration include the expansion of regulatory and pathways datasets, and more avenues for community engagement. Provide your feedback here: forms.gle/ohrk49dmHMPXzY…

Just one more week until this years Pedal the Cause event where Corbin and I will be riding to raise money for cancer research. Please consider supporting us! givesignup.org/obigriffith

@iskander @BenjaminGVincen My own advice would be terrible. Like I was going to recommend to try to perfectly mimic the chipper AI voices from Google notebookLM. I think people might be uncomfortable listening to actual human voices at this point.

@iskander @BenjaminGVincen I bet Candace and Carrie would have good advice. They did a great job with their cracking the code podcast. crackingthecancercode.buzzsprout.com

It’s time: @BenjaminGVincen and I are going to do a cancer immunotherapy / cool research / accelerating future medicine podcast. Any tips for getting started?

The CGC 2025 Annual Meeting will feature inspiring presentations, dynamic sessions, and innovative workshops on groundbreaking topics and cutting-edge research in clinical genomics. Learn more about our keynote speakers here: buff.ly/MVS2Mxl #CGCAnnual2025 #genomics

I'll be riding virtually this year while supporting my little bud in the big kid race. Please consider supporting us at: givesignup.org/obigriffith or givesignup.org/corbinwerner

Besides, @malachigriffith clearly has a beard and I don't.

Google scholar sent this to both @malachigriffith and I. Come on Google, haven't you ever heard of identical twins who happen to work in the exact same field, co-lead a lab, and co-publish most papers?

The deadline to submit nominations for the Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) Board of Directors, with terms starting in August 2025, is March 31. Learn more here: #48407987" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mms.cancergenomics.org/news_archive_h… #CGCAnnual2025 #genomics #cancer #research #genetics #clinicaltesting #bioinformatics

Today is the last day for abstract submissions! Abstracts must be submitted 11:59 PM (midnight) Pacific Standard Time. For further details on how to submit your abstract, please visit cancergenomics.org/meetings/abstr… #CGCAnnual2025 #genomics #cancer #research #genetics #clinicaltesting

Matthew Cannon secured the Trainee Award at #CGCAnnual2024 for his work using AI to enhance DGIdb by extracting therapeutic context from FDA labels, improving drug-gene interaction insights and variant interpretation. Watch here youtu.be/SzYSVzRnXII
