I'm very excited to present about the ClinGen Hereditary Cancer GCEP's recuration of breast/ovarian cancer and colon cancer genes!

Got a chance to harvest a few vegetables this morning. Collards, banana peppers, basil and tomatoes. 🌱#gardening

First 🍅 of the season.🌱

I need to harvest some collards and tomatoes soon.

Peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and basil. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

My garden is starting to produce! Happy days! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

And here I am in Texas in full blown Spring already lol. Hopefully you can start soon!

Finally getting some seeds in the ground. Tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, beets, collards. Hopefully I can get the rest planted soon. 🌱

New research from @jodieingles27.bsky.social team shows how a gene variant common in Oceanian communities was incorrectly flagged as a potential cause of heart disease – highlighting the risks of limited diversity in genetic databases. #Genomics #HealthcareEquity #MedicalResearch

Anyone is usda zone 9? What are you planting this spring? #gardening 🌱

🧬 We Want Your Feedback! 🧬\

Do you use variant annotation software? We’re gathering insights from the genomics community to improve OpenCRAVAT and understand what features matter most to you.💡 Take this quick survey (it takes less than 2 minutes!): https://shorturl.at/iOvMt

Is there a feed for Texas ?

NIH scraps program to diversify the biomedical workforce, a longtime goal of science Applications for a prestigious NIH grant that supports Ph.D. students from marginalized backgrounds are not being funded

NEW: NIH telling scientists not to review diversity supplements that support students from marginalized backgrounds pursue Ph.Ds; unclear if/how they can reapply. "It is an ugly moment," Donna Ginther told me. New story with @aniloza.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/t...
