Several group leader positions available in Dept. of Medical and Molecular Genetics at King's College London (from lecturer to professor) - an exciting opportunity to join a thriving human genetics community and build something brilliant! https://t.co/bAf7O6v3Ea

In a slight shift in focus, our most recent study, published today in @NatureComms, was a large GWAS meta-analysis of acne. Using data from 9 research centers around the globe we were able to identify 46 variants associated with acne risk (29 novel).

A request: If you are able to get your own groceries, could you skip the grocery delivery right now? Some disabled folks rely on it, and the sudden surge in demand is leaving them without food.

Also, please retweet. The effort will only make a difference if enough people do it.

We're so excited on behalf of our CEO, @genemodeller, for his well-deserved knighthood. Negotiations are ongoing about whether he's allowed to wear his sword in the office. https://t.co/iy0eEaJpME

1. Excited to see our paper on sequencing humans using Oxford Nanopore MinIONs come out in Nature Communications! And as part of this, release SEW, a novel long read phasing method https://t.co/dC2AtWm6ij

[Genomics @Genomicsltd]

Our scientists have contributed to the first detailed evaluation of @nanopore long-read sequencing for variant discovery in humans. Ability to phase de novo alleles in a single step likely useful for clinical purposes in the future. https://t.co/Ma8FiUEeRS
