It is time to wrap up #ASHG24. What an inspiring week in Denver with amazing science and #HumanGenetics enthusiasts from all continents. It was a pleasure to serve on the ASHG Programme Committee! See you next year in Boston! #ASHG24 #ASHG25

A thread on some of the fascinating noncoding genetic discoveries from 2024. I've written long form posts and discussed on The Genetics Podcast about these stories. I'll share links to all below with a brief summary.
