Just got back from Milan after attending #ESHG2025. I had a great time presenting our poster and seeing so much interest in our preprint on calling rDNA variants: shorturl.at/p1D0C. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and shared insights. Let’s keep the conversation going! 🧬

Long-read transcriptomics of a diverse human cohort reveals widespread ancestry bias in gene annotation Accurate gene annotations are fundamental for interpreting genetic variation, cellular function, and disease mechanisms. However, current human gene annotations are largely derived from transcriptomic...

Do you work in 💫human genetics💫?
Have you ever worried about what’s inside your gene annotation GTF⁉️

WELL, YOU SHOULD! 😱
Especially when studying a genetically diverse 🌍 cohort!

🔴We discover that gene annotations are European-biased 👉 impacting downstream analyses!

Assessing Human Ribosomal DNA Variation and Its Association With Phenotypic Outcomes Genetic variation within the multi-copy, multi-locus ribosomal DNA (rDNA) can contribute to human complex trait variability. This variation takes the form of copy number, structural arrangement, and ....

🚨New review paper alert!🚨
At the @rakyanlab.bsky.social, we have summarised what is currently known about genetic variation within the human ribosomal DNA and its potential consequences. Check it out if you are curious!!! Plenty of intriguing possibilities 😊
