Krista Freeman and Kaur Alasoo show in LCLs that trans-eQTLs can be highly cell-type specific. We are happy to have contributed with eQTLGen phase 2: we replicated some of these, but with much smaller effect-sizes in blood.

[Kaur Alasoo @kauralasoo]

Happy to share the latest work led by Krista Freimann in my lab. We performed the largest trans-eQTL meta-analysis in a single cell type: 3,734 LCL samples from 9 individual studies.

@mathiesoniain I think more often than not it's the better call, but there may be instances where rsids are useful. Fwiw, I've been using CrossMap for a bit now to convert across builds: https://t.co/7ictxYnzDF

Congratulations to the @HumanPangenome - in particular @BenedictPaten for his leadership + highlighting @ensembl's role via Fergal Martin in annotation. For the rest of this thread I will explain this technical genomics tour de force using... Shakespeare https://t.co/a0prF4v1hB

Biology of Genome 2023 is on! The meeting was launched with words in memoriam of Casey Brown @casey6r0wn #BoG23

[Michael Turchin @mturchin20]

@NeBanovich Congrats Nick! Glad to see this out!

[Nick Banovich @NeBanovich]

Incredibly excited to share out latest work using single cell RNA sequencing to identify eQTLs across 38 cell types in primary human lung tissue. https://t.co/6SMFGZtDvZ 1/n

Casey was my postdoc advisor. He was an incredible mentor and, more importantly, one of my best friends. We (past and current trainees) are devastated, and it's been a really hard few days. Casey was not just brilliant. He was caring, always putting trainees well-being first 1/

[Michael Turchin @mturchin20]

Devastating. Casey was a wonderful person and scientist, will truly be missed https://t.co/B1Np5D4zfi

[UPenn GCB @UPennGCB]

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Dr. Casey Brown passed away on Saturday, March 18. He was a friend, colleague, and mentor to so many in the GCB and CAMB communities, as well as the scientific community as a whole, and will be deeply missed.

[Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur]

A terrible loss for science and for the world. Farewell, @casey6r0wn. https://t.co/KIL0Eek2LZ

Looking for an easily accessible diverse set of genomes? We've got you! The HGDP+1kGP genomes have been jointly called and QC'd as part of gnomAD, complete with SNVs, indels, and SVs: https://t.co/1UmHWz1WtB. Fully public resource, tutorials included, feedback welcome!

[Charleston Chiang @CharlestonCWKC]

Humbled that our work was highlighted in this month's @HGGAdvances with a chat on how the paper came to being. Really cannot stress how amazing this paper materialized from a tenacious deep dive into a QC anomaly, which could easily have been ignored.

I am hiring a 2023 summer intern for our statgen group here at BMS! Great opportunity for a grad student looking to work on an impactful project (dissecting IBD genetics) & gain industry experience. Check out the link for details & application. Please RT! https://t.co/ec8MtHWlYY

[Nick Banovich @NeBanovich]

Hello Genomics Twitter!

We are looking to bring on another computational scientist or computational postdoc. The position would be leading some of our efforts in single cell and spatial multiomics of lung development and disease.

@CharlestonCWKC Thanks Charleston!!

[Charleston Chiang @CharlestonCWKC]

As holiday nears, perhaps it's also time to plan the next career move? We are open for #postdoc and staff scientists who are interested to research at the intersection of human and population genetics! (please RT)

I'm going to continue my shameless self promotion. Since we can't be at #ASHG21 in person meeting all the amazing PhD students and trainees this will have to serve. I'd love to chat with anyone interested in the work we do and discuss opportunities in the lab. Please DM or email!
