This work was a wonderful three-institution collaboration among @broadinstitute, @jacksonlab, and @ChildrensPhila co-led by @Andrew_TNelson, Sophie Hill, and Matthew Simon, with key contributions from Jérôme Clatot, @HoltSakai, Jun Xie, @AlexanderASousa, @meirui_an, Guangping Gao. This project was co-directed by Cat Lutz and Ethan Goldberg (@Go3than) . Congratulations to the team!
