In the future, I hope that we can define better reporting standards for large-scale genomics projects.

Is it too much for journals and reviewers to ask for openly accessible summary lists of studies’ sample SEQUENCING METRICS, such as read coverage and mapping rates?

If there was only one scientific practice I could teach to every scientist regardless of stage or field I think it would be: look at the data. Spot check it. Find a few data points and trace them through to see if they make sense. Look at the raw data. Don't just do analyses.

Great to see broad public support for genomic newborn screening in AUS! Also great to have our first BabyScreen+ paper now officially published.

Prof Zornitza Stark Dr Danya Vears Dr Fiona Lynch, PhD MGenCouns Stephanie Best Ilias Goranitis well done team!
