Great start of the “3rd Channelopathy Meeting Tübingen
Genetic epilepsies and other neuronal ion channel disorders: Mechanisms and therapeutic perspectives; 23rd-25th September 2025, Tübingen, Germany”.

Here the first DNA was isolated - ever.

Followed by a talk by my fabulous postdoc Bart van der Sanden demonstrating that long-read genome sequencing is not only very accurate in identifying de novo mutations for all variant types; but excitingly also promises extra yield of sr-exome/genome sequencing between 7-17%!!!

Starting day two at #nvhg2025 with some great talks!
Amongst them my wonderful colleague Richarda de Voer talking about the role for postzygotic mutations in cancer.

…and another update: good and bad news!
Short reads got shorter - and long reads even longer…
September 15, 2025 at 6:54 PM
…and long vs short reads are almost everywhere at #nvhg2025! ;-)

Great delivery of his #nvhg2025 presentation by @wolfram-hops.bsky.social!
…the future of germline testing is clear now: generic first tier testing by long-read genome sequencing!

And of course also all technicians and PhD candidates are also crucial to our group. Keep up the great effort!

Day one #nvhg2025 kicked of by the great Hans Clevers - amazing how organoids help basic scientific understanding all the way to therapies!

Thanks for everyone’s active participation and intruiging discussions.
Many thanks to all colleagues from our department @radboudumc.bsky.social - and particular thanks for the wonderful organization @christiangilissen.bsky.social!

And today a very nice and very educative lecture on the fascinating worlds of gene regulation, TADs and imprinting. Impressive! @daannoordermeerlab.bsky.social

Thanks for the vendor who handed out gelato even during Poster Flash talk session

I only need to get an icecreme…

Getting ready for #eshg2025 …and our postdoc @lydiasagath.bsky.social made a nice BINGO card again.
Paying a lot of attention to the entire event will pay off!

Highlight of #bertinoro2025 - the McKusick-Romeo lecture 2025 given by Stylianos Antonarakis!

Last lecture for day 5 by the terrific @leastarita.bsky.social on saturation genome editing to solve the VUS problem; also on behalf of the heroic MAVE effort:

Next up: Alex Reymond on “Boundaries between rare and common disease” exemplified on 16p11.2 CNVs.
Alex is also co-chair of ESHG European Society of Human Genetics fantastic SPC!
May 8, 2025 at 9:18 AM
And now we are privileged to listen to Evan Eichler @eichlerlab.bsky.social on “Long read sequencing, T2T genome and complete genetic variation”!
May 8, 2025 at 7:51 AM
Day 5 #bertinoro is kicked of by the wonderful @ksamocha.bsky.social aka “Mrs gnomAD” on “Patterns of rare variation contributing to disease.”
@eshg.bsky.social @eshgyoung.bsky.social
May 8, 2025 at 7:18 AM
Final lecture by @nickywhiffin.bsky.social from „what’s an exon“ to RNU and other non-coding rare disease discoveries. Stunning!
May 7, 2025 at 10:41 AM
Erik Sistermans very nicely showing all applications of cell-free DNA! So many opportunities.
May 7, 2025 at 10:30 AM
Next up the wonderful Karen Temple on the fascinating world of imprinting disorders (to be expected that known and new imprinting disorders are found earlier)!
May 7, 2025 at 8:17 AM
Day 4 #bertinoro2025 is started by our wonderful collaborator and friend Carla Oliveira on the basics of cancer. #eshg2025 @eshg.bsky.social @eshgyoung.bsky.social
