Neurology Podcast: In today's episode, Dr. Aurora Pujol (@PujolLab) discusses the diagnosis of #genetic white matter disorders by singleton whole-exome and genome sequencing using interactome-driven prioritization. Listen now! bit.ly/3Kxg8UZ#NeuroTwitter
.@nickywhiffin gets the Leena Peltonen award 👌👏
She gives quite a exciting ride through her genetic rare disease research and her contributions to the field. In the last two years, starting with RNU4-2, twelve new sRNA disease genes have been found.
She also states that it’s a great reward to work with the families she helped diagnose.
And in addition she calls everyone, especially the young colleagues, to work on science that’s exciting. And also work with people that share your values. That will lead you to a very happy place. 🙂

Presented at #ESHG2026:
In 832 patients with rare genetic disease, a conclusive diagnosis was made for 160 patients (19.2%) with long-read genome sequencing and for 137 patients (16.5%) with standard-of-care testing. Full study results: nej.md/4e03ejh@eshgsociety
ALT This image is a detailed infographic on standard-of-care testing and long-read genome sequencing as first-tier approaches to genetic testing. It includes an assessment of diagnostic samples, diagnostic yield, concordance according to variant type, and diagnostic yield.

🧬Did you miss the 13th #CNAGSymposium? Don't worry, here are all the details!
A unique event that brought together cutting-edge genomics and healthcare, with 15 leading speakers and the participation of over 200 experts
📹Check out the presentations: youtube.com/watch?v=K9Gk34Ud…
The Oxford Nanopore Seminar at UCL ION was an insightful day showcasing how long-read sequencing is driving breakthroughs in our understanding of Neurological Disorders & Rare Diseases. From resolving cryptic structural variants to tackling unsolved repeat expansion disorders, the talks highlighted the immense potential of this technology. A huge thank you to all the speakers for sharing their work! 🧬 @UCLIoN@nanopore@alistairp2011@ZhongboC@IonSynapse@LRS_UCL

First-ever: We've identified a new astronomical object, 'Buried Planet', using SEISMOLOGY, rather than telescopes. It's a survivor of Theia, the planet that collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form our Moon. See our @Nature cover paper: rdcu.be/dp16K
Exciting scientific discussions with @Auwerx_Lab, @Prinetti1 @PatriciaMin19 @MelissaPitman17 @gvdgoot, from membrane biology to viral infectivity, to complex metabolic and rare genetic disorders. The dawn of a new era indeed! Awesome location #Madeirabelongstoall
