🧪 C16 – U R New: RNU-related disease discoveries
A fascinating session on the newly discovered syndrome ✨. I have to highlight the first talk on U4 and U6 in Retinitis Pigmentosa — a project we had the chance to collaborate on! 🙌

📍Second day of #ESHG2025 and here’s a quick recap of this morning’s sessions:
🧬 W04 – Long-read sequencing for beginners
A great workshop where I tried to dive deeper into long-read analysis 🔍. Also got to learn about de novo assemblies using long-read data!

G01 - Clearly I could not move without mentioning the @eshgyoung.bsky.social Get2Gether. We heard multiple perspectives on trainee training within the different countries and I was officially shared as one of the new members. Glad to be part of this! ☺️

The second #ESHG2025 day has started, but I truly do not want to leave without yesterday's highlights.

PL2.2 - An interesting story about Huntington disease, the adult age-of-onset and a possibly window to treatment/prevention phenotype. Amazing news for families with this disease. ✨

I attended the 25th #BeSHG Annual Meeting on “Under Pressure: the shaping of our genomes”, where we explored evolution and its role in human genetic diseases 🧬. It was an impressive event!

In 2024, I crossed Portugal to join Ana Teresa Maia & Joana Xavier's team in Faro, diving deep into allelic imbalances & cis-regulatory SNPs. Lived 6 amazing months in Faro—unreal sunsets included! 🌅 Grateful for this opportunity!
