Running for Noah: Taking on the Sydney Marathon to support Fanconi anaemia research - SVI
When Oona lines up for the Sydney Marathon this August, every one of the 42 kilometres she runs will be for her nephew Noah and every other child living with Fanconi anaemia.

This is an amazing story Recommended reading for anyone with even a passing interest in genetics, rare diseases, gene therapy, development...humans, biology, anything really! It's been cool to watch as the picture has come together over the last year or so

🧵 Our latest preprint is available. It describes an extraordinary case of a boy with two very rare genetic conditions: Fanconi anaemia (FANCB, with a deep intronic pathogenic variant) and embryonic triploid–diploid mosaicism. Read more here 👉 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚀 Our collaborative work with @monica-pradillo.bsky.social, "Genetic dissection of MutL complexes in Arabidopsis meiosis," is now published in NAR! 🌱 doi.org/10.1093/nar/... 🔬 We show that MutLγ is crucial for ZMM-dependent crossovers, with MUS81 unable to fully compensate for its loss.

Thrilled to share our latest work on meiotic recombination, where we mapped rates and distributions by sequencing thousands of individual sperm. This study was led by Stevan Novakovic and @caitlinharris.bsky.social , in collaboration with @davisjmcc.bsky.social and Cynthia Liu.
