The Passion of Parrott. #COYBIG

Great to finally settle the debate of who’s better, Ronaldo or Troy Parrott

Gratz to @jf_grady, Dr John O'Grady, on passing his @ucddublin, @ucdagfood PhD viva today with no examiner corrections—a rare feat! 😀 Thx: @colmr @PatLonerganUCD #AlexBagnato @LaStatale (U of Milan) Support: @Researchirel @GenomicsCRT @UCD_Conway @agriculture_ie @UCD_OneHealth

It’s essentially a bargain bin Mary Robinson versus a pound shop Mary McAleese #rtept

Delighted to share our review on the relevance of epigenetics for the diagnosis of bovine TB with @david_machugh and @Eamonn_Broc @ucdagfood @ucdvetmed @UCD_CHAS @UCD_Conway Funding from @Researchirel

All hail Cthulhu! 🐙

Our new #FunctionalGenomics study of #trypantolerance in African cattle. Great work @GillianMcHugo & collabs inc. @james_akw @kmeade11, @emmelinehill @Tom_JHall Support: @IrishResearch @ucdagfood @UCD_Research @UCD_OneHealth @GenomicsCRT @UCD_Conway https://t.co/duwHatyh2A

⚡️Thrilled that #VirtualLab is published in @Nature! https://t.co/BwAsLFAeua We created a team of AI agents to mirror my Stanford lab🤖. Led by a PI agent, the AI scientists ran their own group meetings and discovered effective binders to new CoVID variants that we validated.

1/ Tucker Carlson: “Do you think overall the COVID vaccine killed more people than it saved?” RFK Jr: “The truth is, I don’t know.” This is outrageous. I do know. The answer is: unequivocally no. 🧵

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. https://t.co/kD4OVdwnR6

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

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.

Thrilled to share that The Farm Animal Genotype–Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) Project perspective paper is out ⁦@NatureGenet⁩. Thank all the authors for the efforts and supports. Looking forward to seeing amazing science coming from this initiative.

Great to see the Farm Animal Genotype–Tissue Expression (#FarmGTEx) Project perspective article published in @NatureGenet. A fantastic #livestock #FunctionalGenomics project led by @LingzhaoF at @AarhusUni_int. https://t.co/HVtH4In3i5

Gratz to #KevinDaly @ucdagfood, @UCD_CHAS, and @UCD_Conway for this exciting @ScienceMagazine #paleogenomics and #PopulationGenomics study on the origins and dispersal of domestic sheep. This work was led by @brad_dan @tcdgenmicro. https://t.co/6ESNsBQ2ai
