📍Second day of #ESHG2025 and here’s a quick recap of this morning’s sessions:
🧬 W04 – Long-read sequencing for beginners
A great workshop where I tried to dive deeper into long-read analysis 🔍. Also got to learn about de novo assemblies using long-read data!

On my way to #eshg25!
If you are interested in the work we do at the FunGen lab, check out the flash talk on Sunday and poster on Monday by @lisahamerlinck.bsky.social or come and have a coffee with team members @michael-b-vaughan.bsky.social, @eedhaene.bsky.social or me. Hope to see you there!

The second #ESHG2025 day has started, but I truly do not want to leave without yesterday's highlights.

PL2.2 - An interesting story about Huntington disease, the adult age-of-onset and a possibly window to treatment/prevention phenotype. Amazing news for families with this disease. ✨

I am excited to share the latest publication from the Nguyen, Caldas @carloscaldas1960.bsky.social and Rueda labs @ruedalab.bsky.social. This was a massive effort from a fantastic team and I’m grateful to everyone on the paper for their work on this project! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

I attended the 25th #BeSHG Annual Meeting on “Under Pressure: the shaping of our genomes”, where we explored evolution and its role in human genetic diseases 🧬. It was an impressive event!

As 'DC5' of @progret2024.bsky.social you leverage long-read sequencing approaches to gain more insight into 3D genomes of human retina, RPE, iPSC-ROs and iPSC-RPE. This will advance our understanding of difficult-to-interpret non-coding variants and SVs in retinal diseases.

The true game-changer of 2024? In September, I embarked on my biggest adventure yet: moving to Ghent,Belgium🇧🇪to start my PhD in @elfridedebaere.bsky.social’s lab under the @progret2024.bsky.social fellowship.Big thanks to the lab for a warm welcome.I’m already building some unforgettable memories.👨‍🔬✨
