I will let the data speak for itself when it cleans itself

BREAKING: President-elect Joe Biden to announce he will nominate geneticist Eric Lander to be Director of White House science office. Lander is director of Broad Institute and former head of President’s science advisory council under Obama. More to come…

🔥 James Carpenter, 3 Feb 2021 🔥 The way statisticians write methods papers is 1. Work out a neat idea 2. Run a dodgy simulation study to show it works better than an existing method 3. Present an example where it makes no difference

MA released a bunch of vaccination slots today, and I tracked how many appointments were available throughout the day (starting at lunch time). Amazing day bias! Sooner better, of course, but still thousands available later in the week even after several hours. Here's Fenway:

This is THE most comprehensive human genomic sequence data you can find today. Perhaps more importantly, it is public like the 1000 Genomes data. NHGRI and HPRC have worked hard to make this happen.

🤣

I am delighted to share our preprint on nucleoli formation (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). We found that the chromatin network can slow down the kinetics of phase separation and stabilize a multiple-droplet state.

Excited to share our new method for untangling 3D genome structure in cancer, published Nature Methods. NeoLoopFinder can automatically resolve complex SVs, assemble local genome, reconstruct Hi-C maps, and identify hijacked enhancers for oncogenes. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congratulations to Ayush Raman, Elias Orouji, Kunal Rai and team! Their paper on enhancer-defined subtypes of colorectal cancer with therapeutic implications is out in Gut: gut.bmj.com/content/early/…

Here is another very exciting preprint, where we presented unfolded chromatin configurations under tension and crowding. We found that the zig-zag fibril structure breaks into nucleosome clutches, resembling those reported by in vivo experiments. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wow! I am honored to be in the company of amazing #ForbesUnder30 honorees. I could not have made it this far without the support of awesome mentors, peers, and friends. Check out our awesome cohort here: forbes.com/30-under-30/20…

Congratulations to J. Keith Joung for winning the 2022 Ho-Am Prize in Medicine for his many contributions to advancing the field of genome editing! 👏🍻🎉 hoamfoundation.org/eng/award/this…

Excited to share our bioRxiv out of the Liam Holt! Condensation of LINE-1 is required for retrotransposition biorxiv.org/content/10.110… See this Tweetorial for the bottom line(-1)! 1/5

Our paper "Promoting the Genomic Revolution in Africa through the Nigerian 100K Genome Project" is published in Nature Genetics today The wait for the AFRICAN LARGEST RICH WELL-CHARACTERIZED Genomic data is almost over. @weare54gene @AbasiEneobong nature.com/articles/s4158…

We've been exploring the new #T2T human genome assembly compared to previous versions (our news and views article is out today, link below). Some observations: (1) Its pretty amazing what the human genome project was able to do in 2004: large-scale gene order is totally conserved

My first trip to the Gothenburg Book Fair was an amazing experience.🙏🏾 The release of the animated tv show based on my book series Karma and Jonar is scheduled for December 4th. It will be available in 11 different languages! I can’t wait.🤩 #illustration #ChildrensBooks

I have sacrificed so much for my dreams…but now I know dreams can come true. 🤩 viaplaystudios.com/post/viaplay-g…

Winner in the scariest pumpkin category at the Gene Regulation Observatory staff party Broad Institute

📣 Excited to share our latest work, in which we set out to reconstitute #3Dgenome folding in vitro to get more insight into the underlying mechanisms. Summary of our surprising findings below! 1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
