Very exciting results shared by Fritz Sedlazeck @sedlazeck.bsky.social including my favourite mosaic variants. While Sniffles2 is well known, other tools from his lab can detect mosaic SVs (Sniffles2 Mosaic) and also assign them to cell types using methylation changes (Sniffmeth).
So cool! #RNGS25

Olga Pettersson from Uppsala gave a thought-provoking talk, tracing the genomic revolution and its paradigm shift.

She emphasized the need for good non-model reference genomes and also highlighted the crucial role of core facilities in genome sequencing —two very strong messages!

“Choose your battles wisely" -Prof. Gang Fang @gangfang.bsky.social emphasises how important it is to take the abundance of epigenetic modifications into account while choosing appropriate methods, be it in humans or in bacteria. So well explained!!

Alexander Hoischen from @radboudumc.bsky.social presented impressive work demonstrating how PacBio HiFi reads aid in diagnosing rare diseases. Further, his work offers potential for diagnosing more patients in future. As someone who also works on a rare disease, this is truly inspiring! #rngs25

Starting off day 2 of #RNGS25 with another insightful talk by Oliver Stegle from @dkfz.bsky.social. He emphasized the importance of computational methods, tackling problems like cell segmentation in spatial data and multimodal integration. Look out for recent tools from his lab - Segger, PRIMSO.

A very interesting talk given by Yujia Qing from @ox.ac.uk. She explained how PTMs can be identified on full-length proteins using nanopores and discussed strategies for differentiating various PTMs. Excited to see how this technology evolves in future!

Proud of the work presented by my promoter Prof. Rosa Rademakers! Research by @wdecoster.bsky.social identifies a repeat expansion in GOLGA8A as a major risk factor for a rare and sporadic form of FTD, opening new avenues for understanding its role in the disease. #RNGS25 @vibtrainconf.bsky.social

Simon Koplev from the Cambridge University discusses his contributions to the Human Cell Atlas. Using a gut cell atlas containing 1M cells, he highlights how certain fibroblasts are enriched in IBD patients and how specific cells exhibit shared stem cell programs. #RNGS25

✨ We’re off for three days of next-generation sequencing at #RNGS25 in Antwerp! Experts from academia and industry will showcase innovations transforming healthcare, agriculture, and more.

🎤 Kicking off: Rosa Rademakers on GOLGA8A repeat expansion & its link to FTD. Stay tuned! 🔬 #Genomics

Kickstarting #RNGS25 with the Visium HD spatial GEX data analysis workshop by @10xgenomics.bsky.social. The 10X team touched the spatial data analysis process, from QC to downstream analyses, with live demonstrations and discussions on community developed tools. @vibtrainconf.bsky.social
