Australian scientists have welcomed today’s decision by the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal to quash Kathleen Folbigg’s convictions.
While justice has finally been served for Ms Folbigg, wrongful convictions will continue to occur without major reforms to justice systems across Australia.
As a matter of urgency, Australian jurisdictions must adopt a reliability standard to determine the admissibility of evidence.

A 2-year position for a junior postdoc is available in our group at the University of Milano - Bicocca under my supervision on the project entitled: "Cardiac Arrhythmias caused by ion channel Trafficking defects (CAT) 🐱"

From #methylation array analysis of paired fresh, frozen and FFPE #cardiac tissue, we found DNA methylation levels to be overestimated in FFPE tissue compared to fresh and frozen tissue. We thus advise against direct comparisons of DNAm from differently stored cardiac tissue.
Our heart beats about 3 billion times in an average lifetime. But what about the very first one?

@JanIngemannM@Simon_Stefanski @MetteNyegaard Som du påpeger, er rimelig tvivl om skyld den korrekte formulering. Der er formentligt aldrig andre end Folbigg, der kommer til at vide præcist, hvad der skete.
Mandag blev Kathleen Folbigg løsladt efter 20 års fængsel for drabene på hendes fire børn. I et interview med @Simon_Stefanski beskriver @MetteNyegaard hvordan forskning i sjældne DNA mutationer har bidraget til at påvise Folbigg ’s uskyld. https://t.co/rRLdjO84Pp

We have an open PhD-position in forensic epigenetics! We are looking for a student to work with analysis of methylated DNA in sudden cardiac death and forensic genetic investigations (age and lifestyle pred.).

My first PhD poster presentation at the 15th World Congress on Endometriosis.
I study the molecular mechanisms of endometriosis at the RNA level.
Thanks to my lovely supervisors @MetteNyegaard and @PerLPQvist
for being always supportive and encouraging in my journey ❤️

A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]
Min mest lærerige tid på studiet var uden tvivl et 1-årigt udlandsophold, hvor tid til fordybelse var afgørende for at jeg kunne få en plads i en Canadisk forskningsgruppe. Mange studerende vil ikke have den mulighed med det nuværende udspil. Ærgerlig udvikling! #uddpol
I et lille land som Danmark er internationale kompetencer særligt vigtige, men @regeringDK's udspil om 1-årige kandidatuddannelser vil kraftigt forringe danske unges udvekslingsmuligheder i fremtiden. #uddpol#dkpol#dkuni Læs mere her:

DNA methylation is associated with many diseases. However, methods for detecting DNA are relatively expensive and sensitive to tissue quality. We developed a very simple tool to evaluate if the tissue is of sufficient quality for DNA methylation. #DNAm
