I finally made (it on) my first cover 🤣 🥳!!
Congratulations to @hggadvances.bsky.social, and all my fellow co-editors, for establishing a great genomics journal. And to all authors: if your manuscript still needs a home, consider submitting with us. We would be delighted to handle your paper 🫶 💪.

Whoops, wrong hashtag.

If you are going to #ASHG25, check out the line-up!

This is perfect if you are a trainee who needs to network but has no idea how to do it. Instead of trying to corner someone at the posters (which is stressful!), schedule a slot and sit down for 15 minutes to chat!

Are you going to #ASHG2025 next week in Boston? Interested in getting some mentorship from leading figures in the field (and me)?

Check out our speed mentoring event on Thursday! Sign-ups are online so reserve a spot ASAP.

To identify carriers of C9orf72 repeat expansion alleles, a major cause of ALS and FTD, the authors of the latest @hggadvances.bsky.social article developed a LASSO-based genome-wide DNA methylation predictor. Learn more: www.cell.com/hgg-advances... #ASHG #HumanGenetics #GeneticsDiscoveries
