Excited to see our TOPMed cross-cohort paper now out in Science! Expression & splicing QTLs mapped across six tissues — a real step toward understanding what disease-associated genetic variants actually do. Grateful to be part of this team 🧬 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Cross-cohort analysis of expression and splicing quantitative trait loci in TOPMed
Most genetic variants associated with complex traits are hypothesized to regulate gene expression. To understand the genetics underlying gene expression variability, we characterized 14,324 RNA-sequen...

A wonderful week at the Gordon Research Conference on Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Maine — brilliant RNA & splicing science by day, lobster bakes and good company by evening. So grateful for this community. 🦞🧬

Overlap between COPD genetic association results and transcriptional quantitative trait loci
While it is known that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is caused in part by genetic factors, few studies have identified specific causative genes. Here we found that genetic variants that...

📣TAKE ACTION!🚨 We’re calling on universities to stand up for academic freedom. Harvard just said NO to federal overreach, and we’re asking others to do the same. Sign our open letter, and join the movement to defend the future of science and higher ed: sciforgood.org/support-acad...

I’m proud of Harvard but scared of what’s to come for our research

So I am an NDP supporter. I am sorry to sacrifice the NDP for the fed election, but it is just toooo important after watching the shitshow in the USA . So, NO STRATEGIC VOTING THAT SPLITS THE LEFT. Let's give Carney his mandate with a solid MAJORITY!! cultmtl.com/2025/03/the-...
