Government of Canada invests $15M in first-of-its-kind Pan-Canadian Genome Library ow.ly/6zaP104Zg9T

The goal of the Pan-Canadian Genomic Library #PCGL is to build a national data resource to accelerate genomic research and medicine in 🇨🇦. We can't do it alone. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to contribute!

Mark Holland, ministre de la Santé, a révélé la création de la 1re bibliothèque pancanadienne du génome humain au McGill Genome. Les professionnels du pays accèderont à des données génétiques cruciales pour améliorer les soins et les résultats cliniques. canada.ca/fr/instituts-r…

Our own Tamiko Nishimura will be presenting at the Single Cell Club next Wednesday, December 6 at Thomson House. She'll present some of the work being done using our @nanostringtech GeoMx Digital Spatial platform.

🚨 Looking for students for the McGill-Kyoto joint PhD program! 🚨 This is a unique opportunity to study in two amazing cities. Please RT. McGill University Kyoto University WPI-ASHBi McGill Genome

We all take repeat annotation in the human genome for granted but are we sure it's correct? In a 🚨new paper 🚨 from the lab, Xun Chen shows that up to 30% of primate ERVs/LTRs instances are mis-annotated.

1/🔎 CGEn community research spotlight Recent study from McGill CERC in Genomic Medicine, McGill Genome C3G proposes a cost-effective method, “Whole Exome Genome Sequencing” (WEGS), that combines low-depth WGS and high-depth WES 💡 50% cost reduction when using WEGS

2/💡WEGS data processing pipelines are built on existing open-source software tools 💡WEGS was validated on 862 patients with peripheral artery disease Full article: nature.com/articles/s4152… CGEn is glad to have supported this important work through our node McGill Genome

Our most recent work is now published at Nature Genetics. Epigenetic variation impacts individual differences in the transcriptional response to influenza infection. Great collab with Guillaume Bourque lab and huge congrats to the lead author @katiearacena. Link: shorturl.at/bcdBP
