(Another) great thread from @ewanbirney Thank you for your continued efforts to remind and educate everyone… Recommended read for everyone, experts and novice alike.👇🏼
Ewan Birney@ewanbirney10 Dec 2023
It is a dark, drizzly december sunday in London and I've just read yet another depressing thread of someone reaching for genetics to justify racism and superiority to themselves. It is deeply wrong, but such a recurrent thread worth both dismantling+ understanding the attraction

CGEn is a proud partner of the Pan-Canadian Genome Library funded by @CIHR_IRSC @IRSC_CIHR and is committed to providing the first dataset through CGEn's national HostSeq initiative. canada.ca/en/institutes-heal…
“Once established, the Genome Library will be used to store the genomic and health data of over 10,000 Canadians who participated in the national HostSeq initiative. Through the Library, this diverse dataset will be shared through controlled access with the research community. This is an enormous step in terms of making genomics-backed research a reality for Canadians.” Dr. Naveed Aziz, Chief Executive Officer, CGEn

This trend shows the increased interest & momentum around rare diseases & there is still significant work needed for rare disease drug development. Those with rare diseases are faced with exorbitant drug costs to treat their conditions and are often unable to meet these costs.
Sapna Mahajan 🇨🇦@SapnaMahajan_4 Oct 2023
More than half of novel drug approvals are for orphan drugs. This has shifted tremendously in the last few years; showing the increased interest and momentum around rare diseases. An important trend to unpack and leverage. Thanks @UofPenn Anne Parisier. @GenomeCanada

Saddened to hear the passing of @LouBernatchez I had the privilege of working with Louis on several projects including the sequencing of the American Eel and the Lake Trout. The world of #genomics has lost an absolute gem. #RiP @LavalUniversity

Replying to @CGEnSeq
“The HostSeq Initiative led by CGEn brought together Canadian scientists to contribute Canadian genomic data to an international genomics databank. Canadians can be proud to know that we contributed to the COVID-19 Host Genetic Initiative, which helped to map three major biological pathways involved in susceptibility and severity to SARS-CoV-2.” - Dr. Naveed Aziz, Chief Executive Officer, CGEn
