Do you create computational techniques to study genome biology or disease? In the 2nd year of our comp. genomics hiring initiative, Biomedical Informatics is recruiting computational genomics faculty. Deadline=Nov. 10. Please share. utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/151953 HigherEdJobs ISCB News ASHG

Have a eukaryotic genome assembly that’s ready for primetime? Consider publishing it in the Genetics Society of America’s journal G3. I am Senior Editor for Genome Reports and we have a terrific team of Associate Editors who implement a technical and biological review. academic.oup.com/g3journal

With Hannah Gellert, Sam Church, Anton Suvorov, Dmitri Petrov and others, we use low-input (down to 30ng), single-insect Oxford Nanopore sequencing to help do 184 new genomes and address the near absence of genomic data for drosophilid species that cannot be cultured in the lab.

Exciting! Seven awesome new scientist & operations roles in my new hometown of #Seattle #Biotech #TheEcoSystem! "Reimagine living cells and genomes as devices for recording biology and diagnostic information over time, as well as for encoding real-time decision-making." (1/4)

Heading to DC for #ASHG23?🧬 Register to join us for the GREGoR Consortium Ancillary Session on Thursday 11/2 12:15 - 1:45pm ET featuring members Ben Heavner, Jen Posey (Jennifer Posey), and Danny Miller (Danny E. Miller MD PhD). Registration: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #ASHG2023 ASHG

A review on tandem repeats and disease by Arvis Sulovari Danny E. Miller MD PhD Paul Valdmanis EEE and myself is up online at doi.org/10.1042/ETLS20… . As far as I know, Danny's table of repeat-associated diseases is the most comprehensive published to date.

DO NOT DELAY - Register ASAP for the free BBI Long-Read Sequencing Symposium, Nov 15 - 1 to 5 pm at the Fred Hutch, followed by reception. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Seattle Children's UW Medicine Danny E. Miller MD PhD Oxford Nanopore Register: redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=4A7…

Two students in the lab had abstracts accepted for talks today!

I want to remind soon-to-be college graduates to check out ASHG and National Human Genome Research Institute's new Post-Baccalaureate Genomics Analyst Fellowship! This is a great opportunity for recent college graduates to gain exposure and training in career paths relevant to human genomics.

Our paper describing how we performed Oxford Nanopore whole-genome LRS and analysis of a newborn at risk of a Mendelian condition is online now at GIM Open! Sequencing and analysis was done within 3 hours of birth using 500ul of blood. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Many pregnant women in LMICs seek antenatal care for the first time after their 1st trimester. Excited to share the published version of our work in The Lancet Reg Health-Southeast Asia on developing India’s first gestational age estimation model for 2nd and 3rd trimesters using ultrasound data! 👇🏼

.Danny E. Miller MD PhD & Ahmad Abou Tayoun's research is revealing hidden variants unresolved by traditional methods, & the potential of nanopore sequencing to address the many challenges in identifying the molecular basis of rare diseases. Learn more: bit.ly/3OiD3XR #RareDiseaseDay

The first paper from the 1000 Genomes ONT Sequencing Consortium is now available as a preprint. Check out my thread at Linked In or BlueSky for more details! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Want to learn more about the tricks and tips for generating ONT Ultra-long DNA? The T2T Consortium and UCSC SeqTech Center are hosting a Technology-focused Webinar next Thursday with a group of experts. Register today: bit.ly/3PFTa2f Adam Phillippy

Happy to share this preprint showing concordance of whole genome Oxford Nanopore sequencing with standard clinical testing for Prader-Willi and Angelman syndrome. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really nice to see multiple analyses of 1000 Genomes data using LRS hitting the preprint servers. Great work by Jan Korbel, Tobias Marschall and others
