Saying goodbye is hard! So is interpreting non-coding variants in visual disorders! Luckily, that is the gift that Dr. Leah VandenBosch left us with after a very successful postdoc in the Cherry Lab. Check your own favorite retinal regulatory variants here: genome.ucsc.edu/s/CherryLab/...

Excited to finally share that our paper looking at the effect of rare non-coding variants using WGS on circulating protein levels in the UKB has been released in Nature Genetics @naturegenet.bsky.social! We now analyse the full 3,000 circulating proteins in all 50,000 individuals rdcu.be/ea16i

#Neuroskyence students! We're brainstorming ways to support your development over this summer break, esp. given the changes in summer intern programs across our fields. What other opportunities would you like to see? Some ideas: undergrad-focused webinars, self-paced courses, challenges, etc.

I was touched by the great turnout in Seattle to support #Ukraine. Thank you to the organizers and @adamsmith.house.gov for your speech. We must continue arming Ukraine and defend democracy against Russian invasion. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦"

Since 2022, people around the world have stood in solidarity, joining rallies to support Ukraine and refusing to let russia silence the truth. They chose Ukraine’s side, united in the fight for freedom. Join in, speak up, #StandWithUkraine: uaworldmap.ukrainianworldcongress.org/en?fbclid=PA...

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, almost 20,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by Russia. DNA testing might be the only way to one day reconnect them with their families.

Moosajee Lab developed the first model for RDH12-autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa using #retinalorganoids and showed shorter photoreceptor segments and fewer photoreceptors as compared to controls. #visionreseach www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

As a result of this morning's shelling, 630 residential buildings, 16 medical facilities, 17 schools, and 13 kindergartens have been left without heat. We can’t fully protect🇺🇦schools from russian missiles, but we can #BringLightBack to them: u24.gov.ua/bring-light-...

So excited that our work on predicting gene expression from histone modifications using deep learning is out in NAR today. Brilliant to work with lead author @al-murphy.bsky.social and collaborators Aydan Askarova, @borislenhard.bsky.social and Nathan Skene 🧬⭐️🙏 academic.oup.com/nar/advance-...

A new interesting study investigating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cis-effects on mtDNA encoded genes, mtDNA trans-effects on nucDNA encoded genes, and nucDNA trans-effects on mtDNA encoded genes. #genomics #generegulation

An exciting preprint from Choudhary Lab addressing how cohesin and CTCF control gene expression and their role in precise enhancers targeting. Cohesin appears to facilitate enhancer-mediated gene regulation via enhancers that depend on p300/CBP.

Deutsch et al. revealed a new landscape of non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs) in human cells, finding over 3,000 translated peptides from 7,264 ncORFs using a massive dataset. New tools and frameworks for ncORF annotation are now available on GENCODE and PeptideAtlas! #Genomics #Proteomics
