And this is a huge win after my F31 application went from discussed to not discussed after resubmission. I want to highlight the “no’s” that lead up to this “yes” as well!
Excited to announce that my F99/K00 fellowship entitled, “A multi-omics approach to understanding pediatric epilepsies,” was officially funded today! And a huge thank you to @hcmefford for being the greatest mentor ever and always supporting me in these endeavors 🧬🧠 Cheers!
Proportion expressed across transcripts (pext), using GTEx v10, is now available on #gnomAD v4!

Happy Halloween from the Mefford Lab! 🎃👻🧹
One of my favorite things about working in the @hcmefford lab is how, on a whim, everyone will come together to learn and help solve problems in #humangenetics 🧬 From the hashtags of @helenc327 —> #meffdreamteam

Research from @HCMefford in @NatureComms has demonstrated the benefit of DNA methylation “episignatures” as fingerprints to track the cause of unsolved rare DEE cases to their relevant gene. Learn more: stjude.org/media-resource…
Super pumped that this is out and so grateful to all the amazing folks who helped make it happen! Especially @hcmefford 🙌🏼
It's finally out! Congrats @stjudegraduate student @cwlaflamme on her 1st first-author pub using #methylation for #epilepsy diagnosis @NatureComms! Super collab effort - thx to ALL (50+) authors! 🧬🧠🧬🧠 rdcu.be/dP6PZ
