Happy to share that our WEGS paper is out today in NPJ Genomic Medicine!! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this work! Special kudos to Daniel Taliun who led this work with me!! https://t.co/iGCmGTAQ4H

The Pan-Canadian Genome Library Initiative is hiring a EDI advisor! Come with us at McGill! More information here:

'Transgender health research needed', indeed! https://t.co/ir7zBn6YZX

Science and the arts similarities are many indeed, as I have long been saying! Here highlighted as part of a profile interview of a new McGill CERC Chairholder with a unique career path

Fun work led by @YingQiao52 to reconstruct parents’ DNA using siblings and their relatives. The new method HAPI-RECAP has error rates on par with direct genotyping. Given big enough families can nearly reconstruct the full genomes! @23andMeResearch collab https://t.co/vSsQkBgGp6

La professeure Claude Bhérer et son équipe étudient le génome des populations fondatrices et leurs maladies génétiques, notamment le syndrome de Leigh de type canadien-français  https://t.co/zpVXVnooiU @mcgillmed

Great job in Canada for a bioinformatics education position with a great team.

L'équipe d'enquête aurait dû écouter la recommendation de Michael Landen: "Pour moi, c’est un enjeu médical. Et un enjeu médical, ça ne devrait pas être politisé. Je regrette que ça le soit chez vous. Si vous ignorez cette réalité, ce sera à vos risques et péril."

And McGill also offers recruitment awards to Indigenous applicants to graduate degree programs through the Indigenous Graduate Excellence Recruitment Fellowship (IGEF)

Also, for those interested, McGill offers Graduate Excellence Recruitment Awards to Black applicants to graduate degree programs through their Anti-Black Racism Initiative Recruitment Awards

Members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research in Canada warn that insufficient federal funding for research grants and graduate scholarships could lead to a brain drain. We urge Finance Minister @cafreeland to increase funding in the Fall Economic

Mark Holland, ministre de la Santé, a révélé la création de la 1re bibliothèque pancanadienne du génome humain au @McGillGenome. Les professionnels du pays accèderont à des données génétiques cruciales pour améliorer les soins et les résultats cliniques. https://t.co/FRLH981fK8

“Data saves lives”.  Great to have @CDNMinHealth @markhollandlib launch @CIHR_IRSC Human Genome Library. Thank you for being a genuine champion and supporting upstream care & preventable medicine. @GenomeCanada is a proud partner. Congrats @McGillGenome @mcgillu

Talking about the Pan-Canadian Genomic Library #PCGL, we're looking for a Senior Manager to provide strategic leadership and organize the implementation. Final days to apply! https://t.co/l86fTEUGun

Quel plaisir de discuter de médecine de précision avec mes collègues à l’occasion des Journées Scientifiques du CRCHUM! Merci Génome Québec pour l’invitation!

Happy to be part of this amazing initiative as leader of the Data Diversity and Inclusion working group!

The goal of the Pan-Canadian Genomic Library #PCGL is to build a national data resource to accelerate genomic research and medicine in 🇨🇦. We can't do it alone. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to contribute!

Excited that our paper addressing the limited overlap between eQTLs and GWAS hits is now published in @NatureGenet!
