Very excited that my meta-analysis of telomere length GWAS and experimental validation showing that POP5 and KBTBD6 are human telomere length regulation genes is out in Nature Communications! Shout out to my mentors Alexis Battle and Xxx sixy porn nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our latest study presents open access RNA-seq data from cell lines from 731 people from 26 globally diverse populations, addressing a persistent ancestry bias in our field. We hope this resource enables more equitable advances in personalized medicine. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Awesome lab retreat yesterday - a fun day of science and bonding, including a look back at the 10 years since the Battle lab began at Johns Hopkins University. 1/n

Thrilled to share that I am joining the Department of Human Genetics Emory School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor! I was an undergraduate at Emory before, and it's an honor and a privilege to return as faculty. (1/3)

Beautiful work done by my brilliant friend Ariel!!! 🪱🪱

Biostats king 👑👑👑

Thrilled to share our work on the germline, transcriptomic, and phenotypic correlates of clonal hematopoiesis without known point mutations in NHLBI TOPMed. Work led with Marios Arvanitis (not on Twitter/X) and Alexis Battle medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

just discovered there’s a soup festival in france. you pay for a bowl and then just go get soup at any stand u want. i should be there…

Today, I'm excited to present the second big chunk of my Ph.D. work. We are building a thorough assessment of the burgeoning field of gene expression forecasting. Something is deeply wrong.🧵 - Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… - Code: github.com/ekernf01/pertu…

So excited for the opening night of the CSHL Biological Data Science conference! #biodata24

Check out our new work led by Ashton Omdahl discussing matrix factorization across GWAS, accounting for sample overlap. Factors with varying polygenicity, enrichment for cell type / developmental stage... Ashton is speaking at #biodata24 today! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share this work at #cshldata24 conference this afternoon! Check out the preprint to see how sample sharing adjustment when factorizing GWAS helps us find genetic factors related to platelet development:

Excited to share our work in my poster (#120) tonight at 8:00PM at #cshldata24 about the effects of interaction between environmental exposures and genetics on cell type specific and dynamic gene regulations using heterogeneous differentiating cultures (HDCs)!

the cold hard truth

Cell type and dynamic state govern genetic regulation of gene expression in heterogeneous differentiating cultures dlvr.it/TGXTN5

Our study led by Josh Popp is up! Context-specific genetic regulation of gene expression in heterogeneous differentiating cultures.

New study from Gold, Yumi Kim Lab et al. Johns Hopkins University uncovers a key regulatory mechanism by which Polo-like kinases control the assembly and disassembly of the synaptonemal complex during #Celegans meiosis. hubs.la/Q02_P15w0 #CellCycle #CellDivision #Genetics

1/n Very excited to share our recent work! To understand gene regulation across diverse environmental conditions and cellular contexts, we treated a broad array of human cell types with three environmental exposures in vitro.
