Gorgeous view of our auditorium The Jackson Laboratory in Connecticut, and even more beautiful data being presented here at the #LRSW2024 !

Beautiful day in Farmington, CT for kicking off our Long-Read Sequencing Workshop The Jackson Laboratory #LRSW2024 ... 4 days of exciting science and conversations with brilliant people! Let it begin! Please, use the official hashtag #LRSW2024 !!

Excited to announce our new review: Beyond the Human Genome Project: The Age of Complete Human Genome Sequences and Pangenome References. w/ Benedict Paten Rajiv McCoy Karen Miga Eimear Kenny et al. annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Tandem repeat Genome in a Bottle benchmark Nature Biotechnology out today: rdcu.be/dFQNN . Characterization of 1.7 million TR + benchmark variants + new method to overcome var. representation issues! Great work lead by Adam E. BCM HGSC & great collab. from so many! (1/4)

A new Nature Reviews Genetics #review is out! 👇

Dr. Margaret Goodell (@Goodell_Lab), Sarah Waldvogel, and Dr. Jennifer Posey (@poseypod) at BCMHouston discuss human embryonic genetic #mosaicism and its effects on development and disease.

Awe, shucks. So nice to get good feedback from wonderful colleagues!

Excited to be in beautiful Saint-Malo for #ICTE2024 ! Opening intro by Gael Cristofari, and a wonderful keynote (historical and future field-looking) by Richard Durbin with darwintreeoflife.org data as a large highlight, and of course TEs in gene regulation and evolution.

The biochem text I learned to love... RIP, indeed.

Currently at the Keynote for the National Human Genome Research Institute NHGRI Research Training & Career Meeting, and having fun interacting with bright trainees already! I still vividly remember being a new grad. student, and wish I had been able to attend a meeting like this 20 years ago.

Excited to share Lauren's manuscript from their PhD work in Greg Carter's lab at The Jackson Laboratory! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

I'm absolutely thrilled to share that our work on human centromere variation and evolution has been published in nature! We completely sequenced all centromeres from a second human genome & compared them to those from the first complete human genome, uncovering new sequences,…

The abstract deadline for the JAX long read workshop is TOMORROW! We'd love to hear about your work using and developing novel long read sequencing techniques for genomes and transcriptomes of diverse organisms. jax.org/education-and-…

I have 2 posts on cancer immuno-epigenetics available in my lab: if you are passionate about understanding and combating tumour immune evasion, this could be for you! Dark antigens, interferon responses, chromatin regulators, hush, zfps….and more!

Registration open for the T2T Oxford Nanopore Ultralong workshop online next week organized by Karen Miga and Adam Phillippy. Open to all to hear the latest advances in ultralong preps and applications! ucsc-seqtech-events.online/?utm_campaign=…

Celebrating Jim Lupski LupskiLab at #GRD24 in a wonderful talk from Evan Eichler teaching us the importance of polymorphic inversions to #genomicdisorders and #rarediseases GREGoR Consortium

All great things end- thanks to JStarkLab and Zha Lab for organizing a wonderful GRC, and for inviting me. It was a thought provoking and stimulating four days, with really inquisitive trainees in attendance. Couldn't ask for more. Until next time, new DNA repair friends!

📊 Join us at The Jackson Laboratory to unlock the potential of long-read sequencing technologies for your research.

The #JAXLongReads Workshop will help advance your knowledge and use of nature's 2022 'Method of the Year.'

Abstract submission deadline: March 29! jax.org/education-and-…

I missed out on TAGC, but this GRC on DNA repair has a gorgeous venue and an amazing lineup. Happy to be here, and looking forward to the meeting JStarkLab!
