What are you looking for in a PhD program in Biomedical Sciences or Neuroscience? Join us for our next information session this evening from 4-5 PM: https://t.co/JmF7oFkQeY
.@GradSchoolSinai: By the Numbers
✨Fully integrated w/ @IcahnMountSinai
✨#11 in @NIH funding: $495.1 M
✨Embedded in @MountSinaiNYC, one of the largest academic medical systems in NY metropolitan area
👉Here's a recap of who we are & how we excel: https://t.co/Oke3NntUOg
Excited for a major milestone in a collab effort led by @jengreitz to map enhancers & interpret variants in the human genome: The E2G Portal https://t.co/O9CRC1gRsf collates predictions of enhancer-gene regulatory interactions across >1,600 cell types & tissues. Use cases 👇1/
Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science @openrxiv
On Thursday, I’m giving a public lecture on the genetics of autism and mental health. Since vaccines are in the news, I plan to also discuss what genetics (yes genetics) has taught us about environmental factors and vaccines #AutismAwareness#autism#vaccines#vaccinessavelives
@doctorveera …and the RNU4 (and 6) story gets even more exciting! See latest preprint coordinated my wonderful colleagues from the eye genetics field: https://t.co/wDjmCVyku4
New paper out in @CellReports! Led by @susie_feng, we found that chronic epilepsy in mice drives distinct synchronization deficits in hippocampus and MEC, with early changes in HPC and late-onset changes in MEC that align with progressive memory deficits.

Really excited to have this out: a cell type-specific map of the impact of an understudied class of genetic variation (tandem repeats) on gene expression, at serious scale: nearly 1800 people with both WGS and blood scRNA-seq. So much signal!
Excited to share that denovo-db is now available on @ZENODO_ORG (https://t.co/wyGWP81iiS)! The new version of denovo-db contains >1 million de novo variants from published data on >70,000 individuals. After much thought, this feels like the right step for sharing with the #genomics community. Celebrating this milestone on my birthday and looking forward to launching an updated interactive site in the future! #denovo #genetics
In our latest work, we explore the contribution of rare, typically inherited, damaging genetic variants to the risk of severe developmental disorders (DDs) and establish a major role for incompletely penetrant rare variation.
Now out on medRxiv:

Excited to introduce MASTR-seq, Multiplexed Analysis of Short Tandem Repeats, a multi-modal method for accurate sequencing of short tandem repeat tracts and DNA methylation across multiple samples. Now on biorxiv(https://t.co/08goWSzTl0). (1/6)
Check out our new genome-wide association study on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with 53,660 cases and 2,044,417 controls 🧬
Led by @no_strom & @immaqua 🙌🏽
