One of the first trio assemblies we have done is now published. A nice collaboration with Yury V Bukhman on the Nile Rat. An incredible model system for studying diabetes. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) @bllapin @jackie_mcastle Erich Jarvis

Out in Cell! We expand our understanding of maternal influences on the infant gut microbiome, with potentially profound implications for immune and neurodevelopment early in life Tommi Vatanen Damian Plichta Moran Yassour @MGH_RI Broad Institute cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

When are two SVs the same? Truvari knows! Our study shows that sequence content is important & consequences wrong merges have. Truvari has also been used by Genome in a Bottle for benchmarks. Great work by Adam E. BCM HGSC Genome Biology #Bioinformatics genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Really enjoyed Cassie’s talk on the Virginia type peanut assembly at today’s PacBio roadshow. Check out the paper: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… ncsu #peanuts

Really enjoyed your talk on applying long read sequencing of DNA+RNA to find expressed SVs for personalized cancer vaccines. Particularly re: mapping in complex regions and connecting WGS with Iso-Seq variants. Can’t wait to see new BFX tools published.

Remarkable personal story from Sanford Simon Rockefeller University about turning his research to studying a rare cancer his daughter was diagnosed with. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Ever wish PacBio m6A calling didn't require subreads? We present our solution fibertools for fast and accurate identification of m6A at scale. Thanks to first authors Anupama Jha and Stephanie and the Stergachis Lab for allowing me to co-lead this work! tinyurl.com/33wnyzar

One of the things I love at PacBio is our Plant + Animal Sciences SMRT Grant. Great chance for people who normally don't sequence on our platform to try it out. This year we are offering 6 Revio SMRT cells! We encourage scientists of any level to apply. bit.ly/3toWTsE

Release of DeepVariant v1.6. Support for haploid regions, chrX/Y. Workflow for Pangenome FASTQ-to-VCF. Major DeepTrio improvements for de novo variants. Models for CompleteGenomics T7, G400 Add NovaSeqX to training data Release by Kishwar github.com/google/deepvar…

I had always wanted to lead a DeepVariant release and it was a pleasure to do so. I am particularly pleased by the DeepTrio development. Previously, DeepTrio performed poorly on de novo variants. This time, we took a two-step process to fix this. Details below. 1/4

As a mom, this touches my heart. We would do anything to help our kids. Contributing towards a method which could help kids like Rose makes my small part in the process feel more meaningful.
