Truly complete and unprecedented: Accurate human genome sequencing is now accessible to researchers worldwide through the #UCSC @GenomeBrowser and will be pivotal in advancing the understanding and treatment of genetic diseases. #BaskinEngineering @UCSCGenomics @BaskinEng
Scientists in the Telomere-to-Telomere (#T2T) consortium have published the first complete, gapless human genome sequence. This can lead to a better understanding of our genomic variations and provide insight for missing heritability and human disease. genome.gov/T2T

🎉 DACA is being fully restored! 🎉 This is a huge win for our campus community. To all of our DACA students: You make our university stronger, and we are so glad you are here 💙💛
“In solidarity with our students and the entire UC community, we are pleased that a federal judge today decisively ordered the federal government to fully restore the DACA program” - @UCPrezDrake and Board of Regents Chair @JohnAPerez. bit.ly/2KZaIb9

Mourning the passing of Narinder Kapany, "father of fibre optics", and a great friend to Baskin Engineering and UC Santa Cruz. He had an immense impact on our education and research, and the world beyond. @UCSC_BSOE @UCSC @SCTechBeat
