Happy Halloween from the Robinson Random Forest! A special shout out to our Placenta Tree and Phylogenetic Tree of Sex Chromosome Evolution! 🎃🌳👻

The Robinson Lab are all back in Vancouver after a fantastic #IFPA2024 meeting! Thank you again @IFPA_Official for inviting @wprobins27 @nikita_telkar and Jiyoung Han to speak and @EllaBeraldo to give her poster presentation - Can’t wait for next year!

Incredibly proud to announce that @Li_Qing_Wang , whose been with the Robinson Lab since her undergrad, defended her PhD thesis this past week! Congrats Li Qing we’re so proud of you - one Doctorate down one to go! 🎓🎉📷

Abstract submission is now open! 📝 ⌛ IFPA 2024 will be held in Montreal, Canada from the 2nd - 6th September 2024. Submission deadline is March 22nd, 2024 buff.ly/42aW6Jc

Roblab students @EllaBeraldo Jiyoung Han, and @Li_Qing_Wang had a fabulous time in Banff at #CanEpi23 @CEEHRC meeting!

Vote for Meet Your Placenta in the IHDCYH competition! #teamplacenta

Congratulations to @wprobins27 for receiving the Geoffrey Hammond lectureship this year, recognizing her research achievements, service to the community, and ongoing commitment to mentorship!

@EllaBeraldo And thanks to the LaSalle lab for our Vancouver Barbie’s placenta umbrella hat, fashionable and functional!

Close-up of our signs and props, this costume was crafted by @EllaBeraldo and we are endlessly grateful for all her work with the hot glue gun! 🥰

We love to see Barbies in STEM 💕👠

Robinson lab representation at @UBC Medical Genetics Research Day today! MSc student @EllaBeraldo presented a poster, as did our rotation student Hannah! Later on @amy_inkster won the TA award for MEDG419 thanks to her enthusiastic former students!

That's it! Thanks for reading, check out this paper and let us know what you think! #teamplacenta @vancityalmas @amy_inkster @elodiepc @wprobins27

Check out our new paper! In this manuscript we characterize placental-specific “epiphenotyping” tools - developed to infer sample information from DNAme data directly. Think epigenetic clocks, ancestry estimators, and cell composition algorithms (1/n) 🧵 …eneticsandchromatin.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
