Our latest study presents open access RNA-seq data from cell lines from 731 people from 26 globally diverse populations, addressing a persistent ancestry bias in our field. We hope this resource enables more equitable advances in personalized medicine. https://t.co/nDRpSX0lKL
A tour de force talk by @rajivmccoy showing common variants in certain genes driving crossover rates and aneuploidy risk. Specifically common variants in cohesin complex. Mechanism driving both disease risk and evolution. #ASHG2024
Looking forward to ASHG this week! I will be presenting work led by @aabiddanda and @saracarioscia using data from >100,000 IVF embryos to discover genetic variants influencing meiotic recombination and aneuploidy at the opening session on Tuesday evening. #ASHG24 🧬🏔️
So happy/excited/relieved that I successfully defended my PhD dissertation last week!!
Very thankful for my wonderful mentors, especially @LeungLab and @ProteomicsNews , and all of my fantastic collaborators that made my project possible!
Congrats to Dr. @_chrisT3na, newest PhD from the Johnston lab! As her X handle suggests, "Mac" made amazing discoveries about how thyroid hormone (T3) is regulated in the retina to control development. Mac is an amazing scientist and colleague and I am so proud of her!
A team of Johns Hopkins University scientists has generated a new catalog of human gene expression data from around the world allowing researchers to gain more accurate insights into the genetic factors driving human diversity. https://t.co/d0zMwQ3syI
So stoked to finally see this published! I’ve gotten to be a part of some really cool collaborations during my PhD, but I was always working on MAGE in the background. HUGE thanks to the co-authors: Surya Chhetri @MikeTassia@aabiddanda@smyan__@genandgenes@alexisjbattle
Very excited that my meta-analysis of telomere length GWAS and experimental validation showing that POP5 and KBTBD6 are human telomere length regulation genes is out in @NatureComms!
Shout out to my mentors @alexisjbattle and @RasikaMathias

So proud of magically channeling the power and making impossible missions possible together with @supmerlin, Olivia and Jonathan. Many thanks to @Y_Gilad@alexisjbattle for support, guidance and nonstop challenges
