The impact of Australia’s national initiative to accelerate the use of #genomics in mainstream healthcare has been captured in a report published in @AJHGNews. 👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1ggtbgeX6KPp…
Hope to see everyone at ComBio in Melbourne, include Genetics Society of AustralAsia for the first time. Will be a great meeting! Please retweet @GeneticsAus @Genetics2023 @LIMSLTU @Monash_Science @BioSci_UniMelb @MonashBDI @MonashBiol @ResearchMenzies @UTAS_MedSci
We are excited to announce that you can now register and submit your abstract for #ComBio2022 🥳 Early registration and abstract deadline is June 24. Look forward to seeing you *face-to-face* soon 🙌🏼 combio.org.au/combio2022/ @ITSASBMB @asps_ozplants @ANZSCDB @GeneticsAus @nzsbmb
Clinical applications are now open for @AFGNetwork. Fill out the submission survey to propose your patient(s) variant(s) for functional studies 👉👉functionalgenomics.org.au/the-network/su… @n_palpant @KerryDozheart @gemtreee
Our #RDMM partner network @modelmatchernet published their platform #ModelMatcher facilitating collaborations between stakeholders of #RareDisease and #undiagnosed disease research. @AFGNetwork @micyrn @NIG_idenken
New publication from our colleagues @BaylorGenetics describes #ModelMatcher, "a global online matchmaking tool designed to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaborations." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35224820/
Excited to present new genomics tool: we use complex trait genetic data to study organisation of cellular gene programs. We then use it to predict genetic causes of disease from underpowered gwas. Great work from @DaliaMizikovsky. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Scientists in the Telomere-to-Telomere (#T2T) consortium have published the first complete, gapless human genome sequence. This can lead to a better understanding of our genomic variations and provide insight for missing heritability and human disease. genome.gov/T2T
