(1/10) We’re excited to share our new preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2025...), which uncovers the spatiomolecular landscape of the human nucleus accumbens (NAc), by integrating snRNA-seq with Visium spatial transcriptomics across 10 control donors. 🧠 #NAcLIBD #snRNAseq #10xVisium

Really excited to share our new PRS method, developed with @aprilkim.bsky.social and @alexisbattle.bsky.social ! Our approach is to use a lot of recently developed functional annotations to better estimate the weights of the SNPs.

Delicious post!!!
BLOG ALERT! 🧬 If you do RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, or modeling thereof, you may be overlooking LD score regression methods. These should be standard tools to study genes, variants, and regions en masse, but they are hard to understand. I wrote intros:

People always stop me in the street to ask: "Yoav, where are the disease-associated eQLTs? We found a lot in GTEx but we can't find anymore. Do you know where they are?"

(For the record, no one has ever asked me this, but it is a really good question!)

I think we know where they are.

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!

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.

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 👀

Amazing work by my buddy and colleague @supmerlin.bsky.social and Wenhe identifying treatment response specific and dynamic effects of genetic regulation in developmental contexts!!
1/n 🚨Very excited to share our recent work!🚨
To understand gene regulation across diverse environmental conditions and cellular contexts, we treated a broad array of human cell types with three environmental exposures in vitro.

Hello Bluesky 👋🏾

I’m going to be defending my thesis on Wednesday, so I thought this was as good a time as any to introduce myself and my work.

I’m Arun Das, I’m a PhD student in Schatz Lab @ JHU, and my work broadly focuses on algorithms to improve accessibility and representation in genomics.

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...

This is possible because we can now merge new assemblies as they are released easily without re-running Mumemto on the whole pangenome! We're just providing the non-zoomable image while we await the final HPRC publication. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share a preprint for (w/ @benlangmead.bsky.social) our new tool, Mumemto, on biorxiv! Mumemto finds multi-MUMs across pangenomes (i.e. mummer but for pangenomes). It can rapidly visualize synteny, identify misassemblies, and accelerate core genome and multiple alignment, highlighting SVs.
Mumemto: efficient maximal matching across pangenomes
Aligning genomes into common coordinates is central to pangenome analysis and construction, but it is also computationally expensive. Multi-sequence maximal unique matches (multi-MUMs) are guideposts ...
