Thrilled to share the second half of my PhD work here!

We show how data on expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) relates to the structure of gene regulatory networks (GRN). Much of the GRN / eQTL picture is unmapped, but what we do have says a lot… (1/)

New paper from my lab! We describe our idea that high-throughput pooled experimental methods – typically used to test thousands of hypotheses at once – also have huge potential to help in “everyday” experiments testing one or a few focused hypotheses. Why? Two reasons: doi.org/10.1093/g3jo...

Really excited to see this published! To more mum-finding 🍻
Now published! Note that since Vikram's original post (quoted here), he's made it easy to dynamically update a set of multi-MUMs (e.g. when more genomes are added to a pangenome) and to find multi-MUMs for huge collections like HPRCv2 genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Excited to share a new update to Mumemto, scaling MUM and conserved element finding to any size pangenome! Preprint out now w/ @benlangmead.bsky.social.
Mumemto scales to the new HPRC v2 release and beyond, and can merge in future assemblies without any recomputation! 1/n
Partitioned Multi-MUM finding for scalable pangenomics
Pangenome collections are growing to hundreds of high-quality genomes. This necessitates scalable methods for constructing pangenome alignments that can incorporate newly-sequenced assemblies. We prev...

I'm defending my PhD next Friday, May 23!(!!!!). I'll be highlighting our work looking at aneuploidy in early human development. If you're interested I'd love to have you join via Zoom (DM me for info) or on the Homewood campus!

Really cool work from @arun-das.bsky.social on recovering sequence from unmapped reads (even with T2T reference or HPRC pangenomes!). Can recover a decent amount of sequence per individual using these approaches. Check it out!
Our pre-print on investigating variation in South Asian genomes is now out!

Thank you to @mikeschatz.bsky.social, @rajivmccoy.bsky.social and @aabiddanda.bsky.social for all their work on this.

Biology of Genomes last week was awesome! Got some ideas in my poster session, met my online friends in real life, and saw a lot of cool new science #bog25

Excited for this - visualizing pangenomes!! #bog25
Excited to share our latest work on comparing and visualizing multiple genome assemblies to identify conservation and structural variation in pangenomes with Mumemto! Check out poster 250 at #bog25 if you are here. New preprint coming very soon 👀

Thrilled to see this work out - its been fascinating to look at statistical genetics in these IVF embryo datasets underlying meiotic aneuploidies and recombination! Joint work led with @saracarioscia.bsky.social. See thread below, thoughts welcome!

Aneuploidy is the leading cause of pregnancy loss. In work led by @saracarioscia.bsky.social and @aabiddanda.bsky.social, we reanalyzed genetic testing data from 139,416 IVF embryos to discover variants associated with recombination phenotypes and aneuploidy risk. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
