The Association for Molecular Pathologists (#AMP) is conducting a survey to understand how #ClinicalGenomics laboratories capture, assess, interpret, and #report out data containing #genetic #sex information for #transgender #patients

If you work in a molecular testing laboratory, please consider this. Thank you

“Why do some people keep smoking despite widespread knowledge of its harmful effects? The partner is likely important, but is that because of health selection which clusters health and wealth, because of shared environmental influences that affect both partners, or because partners reinforce each other and keep unhealthy behavior locked in place?”

Octopuses are like aliens living among us. Their tentacles can taste. Their skin detects light. They are masters of disguise. And they can edit their genetic instructions with astounding abandon.

They can modify RNA while leaving their DNA intact.

Poland anomaly (PA) is described as an underdevelopment or absence of the chest muscle (pectoralis) on one side of the body and webbing of the fingers (cutaneous syndactyly) of the hand on the same side (ipsilateral hand).

X-linked agammaglobulinemia is a rare genetic disease. It causes a weakened immune system. X-linked means that the gene that causes this disease is located on the X chromosome. A child with this disease can’t make antibodies.

For an idea of how Sequenceserver is already being used...

Sequenceserver is helping researchers produce sweeter #sugarcane! Zhao et al., investigate the #genetic mechanisms behind sugar accumulation in sugarcane based on full-length transcriptomic analysis. An interesting application of Sequenceserver in #cropscience! #genomics

The #Biodiversity #Crisis Is a Business Crisis. Fact number one: biodiversity—the level of #diversity in the natural world, at the #ecosystem, #species, and #genetic levels—is being destroyed at an alarming rate. Fact number two: biodiversity loss has massive implications for business. BCG set out to study the biodiversity crisis, understand the #business role, and determine how companies should respond. https://www.bcg.com/publications/2021/biodiversity-loss-business-implications-responses

Abstract submissions and student travel award applications for #BGA2023 are open for two more weeks, until March 15. Join us June 21 - 24 in Murcia, Spain (or on Zoom) to discuss the latest in #behaviorgenetics. Projects related to #idea inclusion, diversity, equity, and access and #elsi ethical, legal, and social implications of #behavior #genetic research are encouraged http://bga.org/current-meeting/

Excited to announce Eterna has launched our new OpenASO project in collaboration with the Sanford and Stone Labs at UC Santa Cruz.

Our players will be designing short pieces of #RNA to restore proper splicing in pre-mRNA mutated by #genetic disease and learn more about #exon definition.

#introduction

Hello! I'm Sophie, Study Co-ordinator for the BRCA-DIRECT #genomic testing study at the Institute of #Cancer #Research (we recently published the pilot #data from this, check it out below!)

https://jmg.bmj.com/content/early/2022/07/29/jmg-2022-108655

With my #dataanalysis hat on, I work in #clinical #genetic variant interpretation, using #R to automate data cleaning, and have just started a part-time #MSc in #Bioinformatics at Birkbeck University, London.

Here's to hoping Mastodon does better than #birdsite!

Locating features/phenotypes within #causal networks would clarify that what we usually call diseases are extremely heterogeneous. They can exist in multiple layers of the causal graph sometimes playing the role of mediators of other diseases. Graphs can show how diseases relate to symptoms and physiological dysfunction. #CausalInference

Accurately classifying #pathogenicity of #genetic #variants centers on estimating the magnitude of their causal effects.

The Colorado Center for #PersonalizedMedicine is seeking an Associate Director for the #Biobank #ClinicalLaboratory. This is a great chance to use #genetic data to guide care. #jobs

Forgot to do an #introduction in my excitement to be here.
Right now I have a few work hats: as a Senior Advisor to the Director of NHGRI, I lead projects needed by the institute, and this year that's establishing #evaluation of our grants and programs.
As an Associate Investigator, I lead the Engagement Methods Unit (EMU), my small lab focused on #genetic literacy (paper out soon!), #autism #genetics and #genomics, highlighting #ableism, and measuring effectiveness of #scicomm.
👋🏻 y'all!

By way of #introduction, I'm a #statistician working with #genetic and #genomic data to define molecular causes of immune mediated diseases.

I am lucky to lead a group of wonderful people with background ranging from mathematicians to biologists, at University of Cambridge and the MRC biostatistics unit.

I recently took a part time position at GSK where I am learning about how the statgen tools impact decisions, and hoping to have some real world impact myself.
