Excited to share our latest work @Nature! We show that the total number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the body is restricted, challenging the classical model that HSC numbers are determined locally by the niche and introducing a new paradigm. (1/9) https://t.co/kvFqNQ8Nxb

🧨Exciting new pre-print! Introducing ppmSeq - cost effective, scalable dual-strand 🧬 sequencing. Scalability & ultra-low error in one! A game changer for somatic genome discovery science and cfDNA clinical apps. Check out thread for deets! @AlexandrePCheng @UltimaGenomics
Highly accurate sequencing OR high throughput? We refuse to choose. Introducing paired plus-minus sequencing (ppmSeq), a method built to deliver both. Our latest paper with @UltimaGenomics 👀👀👀 See ⬇️ for a primer on the next frontier of genomics https://t.co/kl2KOaKziW

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.

In GWAS studies, moving from a significant genomic locus to the driving genetic variants is challenging due to linkage disequilibrium. This review summarizes statistical fine-mapping methods that aim to detect potentially causal variants among sets of candidate variants.

For innate immune cells, the lack of diverse receptor rearrangements has prevented the study of clonal evolution of the innate immune system in human tissues and tumors. With @satpathology and @caleblareau, I’m delighted to share my PhD work that tackles this challenge:
