If you are a frequent user of @gnomad_project this is a feature you've been wanting for a while (and so have I!). We did not have an easy zoom function in gnomAD but we do now. Woo hoo!!! Enjoy! Thank you Nick Watts, our gnomAD browser developer extraordinaire 🥰
You can now ZOOM in on the #gnomAD gene page! Zooming enables enlarging a user-defined region of the gene. Once zoomed in, the browser will show data only from the selected region across coverage, transcript, pext, ClinVar variants and gnomAD variants. gnomad.broadinstitute.org/ne…

Of 215 places with #COVID19 cases, 120 experienced 2nd waves or late 1st waves in July or later.
Only 6 have definitely emerged on the other side.
Victoria is one of them. Only 2 other places have quashed it better. 💪🏾
