This sounds interesting #ASHG26
If you want a quick break from human genetics at #ASHG26, drop by poster 7023W tomorrow afternoon. I'll be presenting some new work about the transgenerational effects of DNA damage in worms. (It's actually relevant to human germline mutation, I promise).
If you’re in Montreal for #ASHG26 and haven’t filled your schedule yet come say hi at one of our posters or at the Genomics booth (1418) this week! Schedule below 🧵

Healthcare equity is very important. The disparities I have seen over the years, put all of us at risk not just those who cannot afford healthcare.
Equity is not an act of charity. It is the foundation of global health security. The Pandemic Agreement is a promise that no country will be left behind in the next crisis. #UNGA81
If you are traveling to the US, you should check your MMR vaccination status or measles immunity.
Folks, please get vaxxed or check your measles titers, if you aren't sure you got 2 doses or were born b/t 1963-1967 (when a less effective, killed vax was used for a bit). An unvaxxed passenger "rode across the country" on trains & Amtrak buses & is now hospitalized. www.ktvu.com/news/califor...
Every time I see people hesitant to vaccinate their dogs it blows my mind. Rabies is incurable and unvaccinated dog will pose risk to you, your family & everyone they come in contact with.
May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.
Not sure how on board am I with this. Synthetic genomes, mirror genome sequences and alike can be informative but we need to be clear in their purpose.
