Coming up from the subway at the NIH today there is a crowd of people with signs thanking and supporting NIH workers. It feels so special. Thank you to whoever participated in and arranged this gathering, it means the world like you can’t imagine.

It looks like the bill posted this morning (Saturday)-to be voted on next week-will cut the BRAIN Iniitiative and All Of Us by proposing a 69% reduction in funding for the NIH Innovation Account (CURES Act) by reducing its allocation from $407 million to $127 million.

Taking 5 minutes to write out a piped awk/sed command instead of just taking 30 seconds to manually rewrite the string is the spice of life

Finished this yesterday, a super interesting read about the superiority of long read for complex/large variants and variants in complex regions. And a good variety of variant types IMO.
Analyzing 145 hard-to-detect variants using HiFi long-read sequencing (LRS), ajhgnews.bsky.social latest article by christiangilissen.bsky.social, ahoischen.bsky.social, & co. highlight LRS as a promising single technology for rare disease diagnosis: www.cell.com/ajhg/abstrac... #ASHG

A clinician stopped me today to tell me they liked my outfit and ask where everything is from, and it was a little positivity boost that I needed after feeling a bit dejected today with all the NIH news. 🥹
