So happy to see this out today - our ultra-fast genome browser GW v1.0 #Genomics 🚀 https://t.co/GBcXHHetTR

Interesting observation from @TreyIdeker and colleagues: could #epigenetic ageing clocks reflect somatic mutation rather than cellular reprogramming?

Good rule of thumb: whenever there's an "epigenetic" change, look for a genetic change.

What has 126 figure panels and a completely new antiviral pathway? The @GammonLab's latest paper in @NatureMicrobiol, featuring student Emily Rex's tour de force discovery of the FEAR pathway. Huge congrats to the team! https://t.co/drzbHWgFa2

Amazing results from @sergekoren. Near perfect assembly of human, ont only.
"We found the accuracy of Duplex data to be similar to HiFi sequencing, but with read lengths tens of kb longer, .... assemblies have a base accuracy exceeding 99.999% (Q50) and near-perfect continuity"

What are the consequences of aberrant de-repression of germline genes in placental development? We discuss it in our latest hypothesis article! https://t.co/bCQjnAwvuB

🐭🧬Our paper on locus-specific mouse L1 activity and regulation, led by the indomitable @Patricia_Grds is out @genomeresearch!🧬🐭

This study evolved from a simple question: what defines the mutagenic potential of a new L1 copy in vivo?

Registration is now open for Australia's biggest bioinformatics event of the year. With amazing support from @iscb, our incredible organising committee has been working hard to ensure this year's @abacbs conference will be exceptionally fun & useful. Stay tuned for more updates!

PLEASE RT💜🧬: The final report of our genetic discrimination project is out today at https://t.co/F0MB7MK8zj
It makes clear recommendations to the Aus government to prohibit the use of genetic test results in risk-rated insurance underwriting.

Maybe you can cheat death...(or at least use it to break free) - 🍻 to @wang_guoxun an exceptional postdoc w/an exceptional eye & @TiffanyReeseLab -

Imprinting in placenta via nanopore. Worth a read if you're into that sort of thing! Gratitude to all involved, foremost the co-lead authors Michalea Kindlova and Hannah Byrne (no twitter afaik). Many thanks to @QLDFamilyCohort for making this possible. https://t.co/adSksQ6fgU

@Medi_Cole @methylnick @GigaByteJournal This is devestating news, Nick was a brilliant bioinformatician and #notonlyabioinformatician. 💔

@SethCheetham @JosephGuhlin @DrStagiaire That (db-guppy) has been depreciated and shouldn't be used. I'd generate modbams with guppy, tools like igv, methylartist, and modbamtools should work on the .bams with mod tags.
