Have you listened to the Variants and Us (VUS) podcast yet? Now into its second season, the podcast focuses on the basic and translational science necessary to map the effect of variants in disease and rare disease. Listen to all episodes here: www.varianteffect.org/podcast/
The image shows the Variants and Us (VUS) podcast logo, which is a pair of teal-colored headphones over the top of a double-stranded DNA helix with one section highlighted to represent a variant and the pod name. The text says, VUS Pod.
