Excited to share #AlphaGenome, a start of our AlphaGenome named journey to decipher the regulatory genome! The model matches or exceeds top-performing external models on 24 out of 26 variant evaluations, across a wide range of biological modalities.1/6

Thread: Multi-omics sounds cool—until you actually try it. Here's are the nuances. 1/ You’ve got RNA-seq. Methylation. Proteomics. Time to “integrate” the data. But how? And why? Let’s break it down.

Structural variants are important! However, genotyping them accurately remains a challenge. We've sequenced 120 bulls with HiFi reads to investigate the contribution of structural variants to complex traits. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Fantastic work @jf_grady - and thanks to our collaborators @LingzhaoF, @animal_eth, @icgormley, and #SteveGordon

Our new #integrative #genomics work on human #tuberculosis is now available as a preprint! Check it out below 👇 - all feedback welcome. Support from @Researchirel @GenomicsCRT @ucdagfood @UCD_Conway @animal_eth @QGG_AU biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ A study by Dr. Peter Hotez and colleagues estimates that over 200,000 Americans died needlessly during the COVID-19 pandemic—due to vaccine refusal fueled by disinformation. This thread breaks it down.

I’ve seen my share of anti-science activists. But few are as dangerous as Vandana Shiva. She brands herself as a "food sovereignty" advocate. In reality? She’s an activist spreading misinformation about GMOs, pesticides, and modern agriculture. Here’s the real story 🧵: 1/
