Really excited to be part of the effort to better characterize genetic variation using a large Utah family (CEPH-1463), amazing collaboration from EichlerLab University of Utah Health and PacBio to name a few. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interesting pre-print: ~192 de novo changes per genome, strong paternal bias for such germline events, 17% de novo are post zygotic, and more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Dr Harriet Dashnow Mike Eberle Aaron Quinlan

Kicking off the new year with a welcome dinner for the IMSD community! UtahBioscience Jeanette Ducut-Sigala, Ph.D.

I am overjoyed about our new funding from the Keck Foundation to study the interplay of genetic and epigenetic changes through four generations of CEPH/Utah families with PacBio HiFi sequencing!

When I started grad school in 2004, I never could have imagined I would write the following sentence. I am honored and thrilled to be the Chairperson of Human Genetics University of Utah! I look forward to future excellence w/ current & new scientists in our amazing department. Stay tuned!

Thrilled to be attending this year's ASHG, with my postdoctoral mentor James R. Lupski receiving the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award recognizing his lasting contribution to human genetics and genomics.

The Responsible AI Initiative at University of Utah has launched a Distinguished Visitors Program to "welcome an exchange of ideas and stimulate discussion and future research around responsible AI". For more details see: rai.utah.edu/distinguished-…

Congrats to Josh Bonkowsky (Pediatrics), Marti Tristani (Pediatrics), and Mark Yandell (U of Utah Human Genetics) Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine on a large-scale effort to bring machine learning techniques to clinical decision making for rapid WGS and diagnosis of neonates. uofuhealth.utah.edu/newsroom/news/…

As part of my appointment as Chair of U of Utah Human Genetics, we will be launching a multi-year effort to recruit faculty with innovative research programs that complement and build upon our strengths in computational, developmental, disease, and evolutionary genetics. Stay tuned.

University IT recently launched ai.utah.edu, a hub for AI resources & initiatives (including One-U RAI) at the U. Read about AI happenings at the U, how to get involved, & our broader push for tech literacy—a major component of responsible AI: it.utah.edu/node4/posts/20…
