@WellcomeTrust Sir Henry Dale Fellow based at @HumanGeneticsOx, interested in chromatin disruption in human disease. He/him. Mastodon: [email protected]
Great collaboration between the @FoldingGenome and Watkins labs, reporting the first Gain of Function de novo enhancer causing Mendelian disease (ST Depression Syndrome), defining a multidisciplinary path with ML to solving non-coding clinical genetics.

Calling all rare disease researchers and clinicians who have a variant of uncertain significance... 🧬
The @MRCMouseNetwork & @NMGN_CongAnom (co-led by our PI @srftwigg) are currently looking for VUSs to model in mice! 🐭

And it’s #PhDone! Rachel Kimber, first PhD student in my lab @BabrahamInst, has brilliantly defended her thesis today. Thanks to @carovinuesa and @viropractor for examining Rachael’s thesis. Well done, Dr. Kimber 🥳 🎉🥂
Fantastic day talking science @BigDataIns. Thanks for the invitation to share our research @RobBeagrie - it was great to see some familiar faces (the lovely Yang Shi!), put some faces to names/emails, and meet some new!
If you are willing to learn low input techniques to explore the chromatin of your favourite organism, don't hesitate to apply to this hands-on course! We'll be teaching you Low-C, ATAC-seq, CUT&RUN, and its bioinformatic pipelines.
Applications are now OPEN for an internship in my group at Oxford University. Open to UK undergraduates from under-represented and disadvantaged backgrounds – apply by Wednesday 21 February 2024 to join us this summer: https://t.co/LboVIE2D8U
Very excited to share that our work reconstructing chromothripsis has now been published in @CellGenomics! We reconstructed chromosomes with up to 800 rearrangements on a single allele and queried epigenetic and transcriptomic consequences. Thread below!

Submissions for technology track presentations are also open - go to https://t.co/buYA714cZm and apply by May 10th to showcase your bioinformatics/molecular biology software or hardware to the community #Bioinformatics#ComputationalBiology#ISMB2024
You can now submit your new, unpublished work for publication as a proceedings paper at ISMB 2024! Full details are available at https://t.co/4juJsUg224 - the deadline is January 25th #Bioinformatics#ComputationalBiology#ISMB2024
Applications are now open for a fully funded @SoCoBioDtp PhD project with myself (@sotonbiosci ) and Jerome Swinny (@portsmouthuni) … please get in touch to discuss the project! Deadline Jan 8th.
Is anyone here using the UKBiobank 200k genomes dataset? We are having some weird issues and are trying to troubleshoot if data vs code 😬 Anyone else seeing anything odd?
Either way, please share! 🧬
If you know what you want to do and are ready to jump straight into a project, you might be interested in a DPhil in Clinical Medicine https://t.co/nEDIpEMWON - happy to talk through the differences with any interested candidates 3/3
Looking to do a PhD in 2024? Interested in gene regulation, chromatin and disease? Applications are now open so come join https://t.co/yYXhZr9dg1 at the @HumanGeneticsOx ! Further details below but if you're interested DM me to talk about possible projects. Deadline Dec 1st 1/3
There are two different DPhil programs you can apply to: if you want first-year rotations and more of a focus on computational biology then you might be interested in our DPhil in Genomic Medicine and Statistics https://t.co/snZeHOUPog 2/3
The paper about CIARA - our method to find rare cells in scRNAseq data - is now published in Development!
One of the major additions to the preprint is the analysis of scATAC-seq datasets, showing how CIARA can find rare cells in other types of single-cell omic datasets too.
