Congrats @Philip_M_Boone on receiving the ASHG Award for Outstanding Early Career Publication! He's a clinical geneticist and Instructor in my lab studying the impact of mutations in cohesin complex genes on genome organization and a cluster of syndromes known as cohesinopathies
Philip's paper on SMC3 mutations in HGG Advances won the #ASHG2024 award!! 🎉

#AGBTPH Kyle Fahr and team @illumina continuing to advance AI methods for variant interpretation - compelling data moving from missense and splice site variants to the challenge of the noncoding genome. Great talk!!
Day 2 at @AGBT Precision Health 2024 brings another group of incredible speakers including Kyle Farh from @illumina, @aaronquinlan from @UofUGenetics and @ontowonka from @CUSystem. See you there! #AGBTPH
Fantastic start to #AGBTPH. Perfect lineup of Nancy Cox on heritability of lab values and biomarker studies, @jorsmo on remarkable progress in neuropsychiatric genetics and suicide prevention, @EimearEKenny fabulous studies of diversity in BioMe, and abstract speaker @LimdiNita.
START ME UP! Co-Chairs @NHGRI_Director from @genome_gov and Mike Talkowski from
@MassGeneralNews and @TalkowskiLab take the stage and kick off Day 1 at AGBT Precision Health 2024. #AGBTPH
Thanks to all the opening session speakers, the #AGBTPH organizing committee, my co-chairs @NHGRI_Director and @WendyKChung, and as always the #AGBT team for welcoming us to Denver. Looking forward to the rest of the week!!
Looking for ~1.2M structural variants across diverse populations 👀
Our latest @gnomad_project SV datasets are now released from exome and genome sequencing 🥳
If you are here at #ASHG23 the great @JFuBiostats will give a talk today (11/2) at 1:45pm in Rm. 202A.
As part of #gnomAD v4, in collaboration with the @TalkowskiLab, we have released 1,199,117 genome SVs and 66,903 rare exome CNVs. These data represent the first gnomAD SV dataset released native to the GRCh38 reference genome. (1/2)
Huge congrats to @NancyGenetics who received the @GeneticsSociety Leadership Award. So well deserved!!
The new @gnomad_project release is finally here - well ahead of ASHG👏🎉
It has been a monumental effort from to bring this resource to the field. More to come on structural variants later but for now - huge congrats and thank you to all members of the amazing gnomAD team!!
The #gnomAD team is proud to announce the release of gnomAD v4! The v4 dataset includes 730,947 exomes & 76,215 genomes, which is ~5x larger than the v2 & v3 releases combined, & includes nearly 120K indivs of non-European genetic ancestry broad.io/gnomad_v4 #ASHG23 (1/11)

Many thanks to the entire CGM community and amazing organizers @GrishchukL, Alysa Doyle, @professorsoukas and Piper McCabe for a fantastic day of science, activities, and social interactions at our annual retreat!
Huge thanks to all GCs and special thanks to our amazing gnomAD scientific operations manager and council member @sambaxtercgc. #gcad2022

The CGM proudly supports all of our Genetic Counselors today on #GeneticCounsellorAwarenessDay!!
The day is dedicated to raising awareness and interest about GCs and helping the public understand the critical role that they play in healthcare #GCAD2022

MT for Rachita Yadav (@RYbioinfo) #ASHG22: Causal mechanism was alternative splicing of exon 32 + intron retention. TAF1 expression was reduced in patients, but not by much. TAF1 is very constrained so males really cannot tolerate losing their copy.

OK folks, it’s time to start looking at the non-coding portion of the genome! We hope you’ll make use of our newest addition to the @gnomad_project browser - genomic constraint across the entire genome. Special thanks to Siwei @sc2643 and many other members of the gnomAD team!
Genomic constraint metric is now available on the #gnomAD browser. To learn more about the genomic constraint metric view the preprint on bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…) or attend @sc2643’s #ASHG22 platform presentation on 10/28 10:30am in rm 502

Check out new paper in @AgingCell from @MGH_CGM associate director, @professorsoukas and his lab. @MGH_RI @harvardmed @HarvardNORC
Our lab's work is now out in @AgingCell doi.org/10.1111/acel.13718 by first author Armen Yerevanian, MD, showing that vitamins have complicated roles in aging: riboflavin depletion in adult life promotes longevity and metabolic hormesis!
