#RareDiseaseDay I work on the genetics of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), a rare pediatric autoinflammatory bone disease.

This is a really fun paper. The authors build a mathematical model to explain how the tulip breaking virus, or TBV, creates a stripe pattern on tulip petals.

The writing is elegant, and the paper combines history, mathematics, and lots of other good stuff. Recommend.

🚨 New paper published in... Nature 😱

I never thought that I would write these words, but here is a Nature-paper that I contributed to. We found global loss in genetic diversity. Conservation strategies may maintain or increase genetic diversity.

The #gnomAD v3 papers are now published! This includes the non-coding constraint paper (https://t.co/akE9LGWymJ) & inferring compound heterozygosity paper (https://t.co/1Gw1sTrxWI). Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this valuable work! (1/2)

When is a new human genome build coming ooooouuuuuuutttttt??? Should we switch to 38 or waaaaaiiiiitttttttt????

@UberFacts I do this on a much, much, much smaller scale. For Target gift cards though.

Our 11 yo dog Betty is leaking urine on a daily basis. Read about Rx DES and would like to avoid it. Interested in a natural remedy that will help her control her bladder. I see several online. Any recommendations? Thanks! #veterinarymedicine #DogsofTwittter

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]

[Allison Cox @gene_sleuth]

@SashaGusevPosts Thank you! This is wonderful. I have some reading to do.

I couldn't donate blood today bc of low hemoglobin. As a consolation prize, they gave me this helpful handout about hemoglobin.

I was very surprised that the @RedCross claims normal hemoglobin levels are lower for healthy African Americans... 🧵

Sometimes pathology can go a little overboard? Curious how the absent polyps are subclassified. #WomensHealth
