Hi all!
I am a PhD candidate at #VirginiaTech in the Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology program. I study #popgen in wild American chestnut tree populations to inform the development of locally adapted and disease resistant populations. In my research, I utilize #WholeGenomeSequencing and #bioinformatics to understand how climate change will impact imperiled species.

Great meeting at the New York Genome Center tonight @nygenome@twitter.
Marcin Imielinski, Dan Landau, Nico Robine presenting the future of #WholeGenomeSequencing cancer.

Still learning about Mastodon and trying hashtags!
For a #Genealogy Project, I have been tracing surname lines with #GeneticGenealogy using #Y_Chromosome #SnpTests from Family Tree DNA ( #FTDNA ). That has worked out very well.
Now am trying to look at autosomal SNPs from #WholeGenomeSequencing ( #WGS ) tests to detect possible common ancestors back 9-12 generations or so. Want to see if very rare genetic variants ( #vrGV ) can be used in some way to identify those possible connections.
