Abstract submissions are open, and the program will be largely driven by the submissions! If you're on the east coast for Biology of Genomes, this will be a fun few day jaunt to CT afterwards. Bonus- if you drive from Long Island, the ferry is a ton of fun!

JAX Long-Read Sequencing Workshop Keynotes by @aphillippy.bsky.social & @mydennis.bsky.social Co-organized by @olgaanczukow.bsky.social, @christinebeck.bsky.social & Mark Adams ✈️ Trainee travel awards 📝 Abstracts due March 3 🥼 Optional wet-lab training session 🔗 www.jax.org/education-an...

I am looking for a postdoc to develop high-performance algorithms in computational genomics. Email or DM me if interested. For more information, see hlilab.github.io/vacancies. RTs appreciated!

i hate elon musk for a lot of reasons but one of them is that now sometimes i first see interesting papers on linkedin LINKEDIN

@cedricfeschotte.bsky.social, this Barbados cocktail is for you. It's 5 o'clock where we aren't!

Happy holiday season, science people!

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are found in hundreds of copies in the human genome. Do sequence variations in these paralogs change the ribosome function? Yes! I am excited to share our new preprint @mbarnalab @jkpritch in collaboration with Calico: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/8

Here's to something beautiful to start the day this Halloween Friday. I thought you might enjoy my spooky beautiful cat(tleya). ♥️

Today is the our @jacksonlab.bsky.social scientific symposium and faculty retreat, and I'm excited to hear about research being conducted by JAX trainee's and our institution's scientific trajectory. Love my research communities here in central Connecticut and Bar Harbor.

On the last day of #ASHG25, attending a telomere session entitled "end results" seems fitting. It's been a great meeting talking with vibrant young geneticists, and on this note, I'm hiring a postdoc! thejacksonlaboratory.wd503.myworkdayjobs.com/External_JAX...

I want to try something again at #ASHG25 this year: I'll block some time on Thursday and Friday afternoons to meet with trainees who would be interested to chat on any topic. I did this last year and it was great to meet a whole bunch of new people, at all career stages!

Kicking off the Annual Society of Human Genetics meeting in drizzly Boston with a program committee meeting! Welcome to #ASHG25, and hope to see your smiling, brilliant faces!

IT IS TIME.

Hey Drosophilists: Might you maintain Fuyama's original gynogenetic "gyn-F9" (BDSC #5353) stock in your library? The current stock from Bloomington is not producing progeny with ms(k81) males. Thank you!!!

It's exciting to see the continuing legacy of T2T sequencing methods being discussed on @scifri.bsky.social ! 🧬 Complete genomes are helping us understand more and more about genetic function and diversity in areas of our DNA that were unreadable just a few years ago.

Complete genomes alert! @glennislogsdon.bsky.social, @christinebeck.bsky.social, and I were on @scifri.bsky.social today talking about "Complex genetic variation in nearly complete human genomes" 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📻 www.sciencefriday.com/segments/65-...

This was both fun and terrifying to tape! Awesome to talk with @glennislogsdon.bsky.social and @aphillippy.bsky.social about our sequencing data / paper, the improvements to large-scale sequencing projects, and what this means for our understanding of our DNA!

Someone asked me just today if RSS is “still a thing”. Friends, it definitely is! Though I will always sigh for google reader, RSS remains a fantastic way to pull in news from the sources you want to read, without “the algorithm” sucking you into rage and despair.

Newsletter: In a media landscape dominated by algorithmic feeds that aim to manipulate and extract, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is choose to read what you want, when you want, without anyone watching over your shoulder. Here’s how to use RSS. www.citationneeded.news/curate-with-...

My wife assembled two complete human genomes and we couldn’t get that published anywhere.

Tobias Marschall@tobiasmar.bsky.social · last yr.

Two papers in today's issue of @nature.com ‬: 1) we assemble 65 genomes to near completion, including centromeres and the MHC. tinyurl.com/3huhax6w. 2) we sequence 1,019 genomes from the 1kGP with long reads, revealing SVs down to low allele frequencies tinyurl.com/wbx3we9x.

Lovely write up on our paper from @jacksonlab.bsky.social. It's been <4 years since I joined the HGSVC, and together with Peter Audano and Parithi Balachandran in my lab, @tobiasmar.bsky.social, @glennislogsdon.bsky.social, and many others, we've done a lot. Here's to great collaborators!

The Jackson Laboratory@jax.org · last yr.

New research, published today in @natureportfolio.nature.com, decodes the most elusive, difficult-to-sequence regions of the genome from populations around the world, rewriting knowledge of human biology and setting a new benchmark for precision medicine. 🧪🧬🔬

Check out our latest work co-led by @dcsoto.bsky.social and @jmuribescr.bsky.social identifying hundreds of human duplicated gene families using the new T2T-CHM13 assembly, with a focus on those potentially contributing to brain evolution 🧪: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lTQtL7PXu...

Are you bravely deciding to do a postdoc in the US? And also interested in some combination of genomics, immunology, and transposons? If so, consider applying to my lab at the BioFrontiers Institute in Boulder, Colorado! jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta... 🧪🧬 #TESky #interferosky

Very happy to share our protocols paper for CELLO-seq. This will make single cell long read RNA-seq more accessible and provides analysis guidelines. We hope this helps the #transposon #TEsky community and folks working on #singleCell isoform and allelic #gene expression. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

I has a monarch growing in my garden. That and the fireflies tonight have made my day more tolerable. What is keeping your head above water?

They finally made the milk from that hotel

I am thrilled to announce that in January 2026 I will be starting my own lab at NYU Biology! Soon enough I will be recruiting postdocs and students! Please reach out if you are interested with a CV and description of your research interests, or if you know of people who could be interested! 🧬🗽 🦊

🧬🌽 Happy Transposon Day! 🌽🧬 Today we celebrate the birthday of Barbara McClintock - scientist extraordinaire and discoverer of jumping genes. Still the only woman to have an unshared Nobel Prize in the biomedical sciences #TransposonDay2025

Completely germane to absolutely nothing, schadenfreude is my favorite Freud when it comes to certain people.

There's only ~1 week left for abstract submission for #ASHG25! Get your best stories submitted so we have more fun planning the program. Looking forward to seeing a ton of you genetics researchers in Boston this fall.
