Friday was my last day at NHGRI. After 10 wonderful years, my lab is headed to Johns Hopkins University genomeinformatics.github.io/movingday/
We're moving!Friday was my last day at NHGRI. After 10 wonderful years, my lab is headed one hour north on I-95 to set up shop at Johns Hopkins University. This is a very bittersweet move for me, as NHGRI has prov...genomeinformatics.github.io
Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

Crushed to hear of Mark Batzer’s passing. He was the Boyd Professor at Louisiana State University. His influential research revealed how mobile elements shape the genomes of humans & other mammals. Mark’s personality, generosity & positivity were larger than life. He lifted everyone up. HUGE loss 💔
Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

The use of the phrase “ancestry-specific variant” is increasing, particularly to describe rare Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs). But these alleles are not ancestry-specific. They have not yet been found elsewhere, but they will be. 1/n
