Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that our lab at UW will soon be recruiting a postdoc to work on DNA methylation signatures in rare disease. This will be a mostly computational position. Please share and reach out if interested! millerlaboratory.com

Dr. @danrdanny.bsky.social and his team at @brotmanbaty.bsky.social have demonstrated a "sample-to-sequence" workflow for processing DNA isolated from cell culture, whole blood, and solid tissue. Learn more about this “hands-off” approach, with minimal manual intervention: bit.ly/4byIvBP

Literal case in point: we worked with @danrdanny.bsky.social (and transfusion medicine teams across two organizations) to use long-read WGS to solve the case of an untransfusable patient. #hemesky #medsky doi.org/10.1111/trf....

Background Immune hemolytic anemia poses a significant challenge in transfusion medicine, as identification of underlying alloantibodies can be masked by warm and/or cold autoantibodies. This increa...

Interested in SV calling from LRS data but overwhelmed by the 25,000 variants you're sorting through? Check out needLR! Gus just updated it today to include SV calls from 450 1000 Genomes samples (900 haplotypes), vcf output, and much more. github.com/jgust1/needLR

Has anyone had luck submitting a paper without submitting all author names on the paper? I am tired of spending an hour or more adding people to a journal submission site just to have the paper editorially rejected the next day... I know some journals have forms you can upload, but some do not.

I am very sad to share that Scott Hawley passed away this morning. Scott was my graduate advisor and no other person had such a positive impact on my life. I will miss him dearly.

I never knew what it meant to go on a life changing trip until now. I just spent an amazing week in Nairobi teaching genetics to some truly wonderful physicians and seeing kids with suspected genetic conditions. It felt all the more special to have been there on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Good read about how the NIH functions. After 2 years as a new investigator I only now feel like I am starting to understand the process. This is one of the challenges for new investigators: why is the learning curve so steep?

I love the starter packs, but adding people is a giant pain in the ass. Is there an easier way to add someone beyond editing it through your profile?
