🌟What an incredible week at @MRC_Uganda in Entebbe & Kyamulibwa🇺🇬 to kick-off our @ERC_Research #ERCStG project🌟 Couldn't think of a better partner than the💫fantastic @SFatumo & his brilliant team incl. @kaluallan, Irene Namara & Co💫 It’s such a privilege to work with you!✨
19 Jan 2024
So much excitement as we kickstart our brand-new project in the village of Kyamulibwa! Partnering with the incredible @skimhellmuth and her diverse team, we're diving into the world of Single-Cell Genomics with a trans-ancestry twist– connecting Uganda, South Korea, and Germany

Long reads are one of the greatest innovations for RNA profiling as they help to identify individual isoforms. But… what about long reads that don't perfectly match reference annotations? Very happy to share our answer to this question - bambu! nature.com/articles/s41592-0… 1/n

Check out our latest paper in @Nature! We unveil the fascinating variation of individual polygenic scoring accuracy across the genetic ancestry continuum!
We offer an individual-level interpretation of polygenic score (PGS) transferability across genetic ancestries: PGS accuracy varies individual-to-individual across the genetic-ancestry continuum, even in populations usually labeled as homogeneous. 1/ nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

And here it is, now peer-reviewed and open access @OxfordJournals. Thanks to all reviewers for very constructive feedback, as well as @Axel_Schm1dt, @hannah_klinki and @KircherLab for taking the paper over the finish line. 🥂 academic.oup.com/bioinformat…
Science is.... when you get the chance to work on an out-of-your-comfort-zone research idea! Led by the extremely talented @Axel_Schm1dt and supported by others not on Twitter, we are happy to share the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New Posthuman Research Group @Junge_Akademie! In a world in which the human is called into question by crises and innovations, do categories of consciousness and subjectivity need to be renegotiated? @skimhellmuth @BirgitNemec 🦠 diejungeakademie.de/de/arbei… #morethanhuman #nonhuman

Excited to share our work on genome editing for SMA in @ScienceMagazine! We evaluated dozens of strategies targeting SMN2 regulatory sequences to rescue SMN levels, and show that one-time in vivo co-administration of our top strategy with nusinersen extends lifespan of SMA mice.

Today we report in @ScienceMagazine a one-time base editing treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), the leading genetic cause of infant mortality worldwide, affecting ~1 in 10,000 births. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1H1k… 1/17
