Senior Lecturer in Bioinformatics @cardiffuni I am fascinated about how genomic variation leads to disease & how we can use this knowledge to improve treatment.

This is an interesting read about what's lurking in the shadows of our genome. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2025-10...

A message from the dark genome
Long dismissed as genetic junk, the dark genome is stepping into the spotlight, revealing how ancient viralremnants and rogue DNA elements impact evolution and disease.

Really excited, exhausted and relieved to finally be able to share the results from an analysis of the @GenomicsEngland 100,000 Genomes Project dataset. Here's a link to free access to the manuscript: authors.elsevier.com/a/1l8iU3vlFV... see below 🧵for main outcomes

The ASSL is 50 🎈... thread! Built on the site of former railway engine sheds, the ambitious structure was built over two years, at a cost of £1.1 million (the equivalent of £12.5 million today).
The ASSL exterior in 1975 before opening. Clean lines!

OK #bioinformatics folk, I am in dire need of help as after 3 weeks of trying I'm stumped. I have a bam file that was aligned to GRCh38 with alt contigs but I need to remove the alt contigs fromthe file and header. I've used #samtools and #Picard 1/2

This is an interesting article that has benchmarked the use of @nanoporetech.com for clinical diagnostics in New Zealand. Lots of people (including us) are looking to do the same so a timely publication. Also, great to see my old colleague @polona.bsky.social on the author list 🙌 rdcu.be/d2UoA
