@ee-reh-neh.bsky.social capturing the difficulty of carrying out any sort of projects with a field component. So grateful to have been a part of this study.
Very excited to see this work be the first to use the quasar method for eQTL mapping!

Hi yes I will have more to say about this in a few hours but please enjoy this paper. It's been a huge labour of love and effort for the last four years, and a significant part of our research efforts, and I'm so so so thrilled it's finally ready to share.
Tldr: scRNA-seq in Indonesia hard but fun
So excited to have this study live! Lead by @ee-reh-neh.bsky.social's teram and in collaboration with an incredible team at MRIN in Indonesia. This is the culmination of ~5 years of work including a ton of effort in the field. Really proud of how this came together!

Both chambers of Congress have now passed the FY26 minibus with NIH provisions. The President will sign.
(1) $48.7 billion for NIH
(2) Full IDC recovery
(3) No more multi-year funding
(4) No NIH reorganization, maintaining the current IC structure.
The fact of the matter is: a severe #IceStorm is developing across much of the country at this very moment, with potentially devastating and far-reaching consequences extending far beyond the region of maximum #ice concentration. Watch out for the #ice, and help your neighbors weather the storm.
A line grant showing new and competitive renewal awards made by NIH is fiscal year 2026 compared to 2021-2025. The line for fiscal year 2026 is very close to zero.
My (now) weekly update on 2026 NIH funding.
New and competitive renewal awards.
3 new awards (compared to ~100 expected based on recent years).
No new ICs... still just NIA, NINDS, NIDCD, and NIDCR.

Use of SNPs in a low diversity system for genetic monitoring and identifying a successful translocation event in the Paiute Cutthroat Trout (O. henshawi seleniris) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.07.697447v1
Short answer is yes! A single sample can be prepped with both chemistries and through two sequential runs you can have Prime and V1 data from the same cells. Data are highly correlated with single chemistry runs – with a small drop in sensitivity on the prime.
A fun little project. We were curious if you could prep a single sample using both 10X Genomics Xenium V1 probes and Prime probes – allowing users to profile 480 genes at high sensitivity and 5,000 genes at lower sensitivity inline.

Great new work led by Aaron Kwok from @davisjmcc.bsky.social’s group. A tool to “denoise” contaminating transcripts from image based spatial data.

My science 💜 is full as I reflect on a great week at #ASHG25! 5 posters from the lab, symposium on #epilepsy 🧠 #genetics 🧬, catching up with so many friends and colleagues. Already excited for #ASHG26 in Montreal - see you there!
Thank you! I am so honored and had such a wonderful time at #ASHG. What an amazing and inspiring society!
#ashg25
Great presentations from the lab this week at #ashg25.
#ashg25
Bulk of the lab are presenting posters today!
I'm recruiting a postdoc for my group (based in beautiful Eugene, OR). Please get in touch if you're interested, esp if you'd like to chat at #ASHG25!
After a short *3 hour* flight delay excited to be in the air on the way to Boston for #ASHG25. Looking forward to sharing the lab's work.
Great new work from the Barthel lab!
Happy to share that this work together with @opentargets.org is now out at Nature Communications.
Excited for a major milestone in our efforts to map enhancers and interpret variants in the human genome:
The E2G Portal! e2g.stanford.edu
This collates our predictions of enhancer-gene regulatory interactions across >1,600 cell types and tissues.

Interesting @nebanovich.bsky.social @florisbarthel.bsky.social glad we just installed an @elembio.bsky.social Aviti24 @tgenresearch.bsky.social. @aphillippy.bsky.social is this with standard cloudbreak chemistry or the high accuracy ultraQ chemistry
"We’re currently at about 54% of last year’s total [of funded R01s]...Another way to look at this is that we’re missing 1,809 new R01s."
