Great to see industry move from #genetics to #genomics! Shame that it is being used to push trait and behavioural genetics. Could this be the birth of #DTCeugenics?

Interested to know whether the Exec Director of Science for Our Future Health (the UKs flagship genetic panel testing project) thinks genomics is useful? (Yes I do believe there is a difference between #genetics and #genomics) Get to the main stage #FOG2025

Day1 was mixed - historical foundation of #Eugenics, 1.3million #adversedrugreactions and sobering character assignation of #polygenicriskscores. on the other side @nhsgms.bsky.social seem to be taking data seriously. What do we think day 2 has in store? #FOG2025

Shocked, I spent a whole 24 hours with fellow #omic enthusiasts and not one has signed up for the highest quality, low cost, analysed whole #genome sequencing #WGS service available in Europe. #FOG2025 come find me today if you want in!

Prof. David Curtis @ugiatucl.bsky.social shared how #PolygenicRiskScores originated as way to justify a failed schizophrenia #GWAS, reminded me of @adamrutherford.bsky.social earlier talk. It is vital to understand the history of our beloved #genomic techniques. #FOG2025

It was great to see Prof Aroon Hingorani from @ugiatucl.bsky.social delving into the evidence for use of #polygenicriskscores. It's not optimistic. Check out resources below. #FOG2025

This is insane...... 1.3m adverse drug reactions have been reported in the UK. However of these 75%...... 3 out of 4 are due to medications which are associated with just 3 #genes! Why do we keep prescribing with out #pharmacogenomics #FOG2025

Very eloquent presentation by Prof. Matt Brown CSO @genomicsengland.bsky.social Whole #Genome Data #WGS is the only way we can sustainably integrate #pharmacogenomics cost effectively. Completely agree.

Standing room only at Ensuring the @nhsgms.bsky.social #delivers an #equitable #genomic testing offer. Great to see so much interest!

Resounding want for better, braver #genetic data sharing #NHSGenomics2024

Kicking off with NHS Chief Executive, Amanda Pritchard. The top level support for @nhsgms.bsky.social to deliver a more efficient, more hopeful @nhsengland.bsky.social.

#equity should be at the heart of new initiatives.

Looking forward to joining @nhsgms.bsky.social for #NHSGenomics2024.

Come say hi if you want to talk #wholegenome #valuemaximisation or #reanalysis using #CloudGenomics

(What a first post on @bsky.app!)
