Excited to share the white paper for the IGVF Consortium, supported by @genome_gov Deciphering the impact of genomic variation on function rdcu.be/dSZdm
National Human Genome Research Institute@genome_gov4 Sep 2024
Understanding the function of an entire genome is no easy task! Most genes likely have more than one function. To understand the functional effects of genomic variation, NHGRI launched a consortium called Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF). genome.gov/news/IGVF

Come and see posters of the lab at #ESHG2024 – Pia is presenting P20.013.B (award candidate) this afternoon and Mohan will present P16.084.D tomorrow afternoon. Very different work studying non-coding sequence effects with our collaborators at @NadavAhituv lab and @JShendure lab.

We mourn the loss of a great person. Our close collaborator Prof. Michael Speicher from MedUni Graz died suddenly last weekend. Michael was an outstanding scientist and good friend to all of us. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and lab members. medunigraz.at/news/detail/na…

Came across this great review with beautiful figures on human-specific traits and how to study them, published last month by @Lab_Pollen, @genomeCraig, @KlkUmut and @GrayCampLab: nature.com/articles/s41576-0…
