My wonderful PhD student (not on fedi) is runnning a survey about researcher views about pathway enrichment analysis.

If you are a life scientist who has ever done a pathway analysis this survey is for you.

📊 Deakin University ethics approval (ref:2024/HE000066).

First 150 participants get a $10 AUD gift voucher.

Sequencing the genomes of the other apes: Previously unknown genes uncovered. Step 1 completed. Now to make sense of the differences and what they tell us about the history and diversity of our branch of the primate phylogenetic tree! nature.com/articles/d41586-025 #evolution #genomics #genetics #apes

www.nature.comWhat makes us human? Milestone ape genomes promise cluesDNA sequences for the chimpanzee, orangutans and more will help scientists to determine what sets humans apart from other apes.

Anyone else finding the sequencing costs appear to be getting more expensive rather then continuing to decline. I'm thinking its likely related to inflation, wages and current US uncertainty...? oh and Illumina and alike only delivering true reduced cost/GB on large scale flowcells, which aren't suitable for many small to medium size projects...

GHGA Retreat 2025 – Day 2: Deep-dive workshops underway at Kloster Schöntal! We’re aligning on the GHGA Data Portal roadmap, exploring community-driven projects, and refining plans for SPEs and patient communication.

GHGA Retreat – Day 1 at Kloster Schöntal kicked off with exciting discussions on a wide range of topics! From data portals to international connectivity (#FEGA, #ELIXIR, #EOSC), legal challenges, patient communication, and training plans, GHGA 2 is taking shape across all fronts. Perspectives from data producers and data hubs, along with workflow use cases, rounded off a fantastic first session. #GHGA #GHGAretreat #Genomics #OpenScience #Collaboration

More on #genomics, this is obviously crazy since the #world's #genetic #diversity is contained within #Africa. Yet African DNA is underrepresented! Oh dear, it should not be only African scientists noticing this.

'African scientists say the world is missing vital medical insights by ignoring the continent’s vast genetic diversity. Less than 2 percent of human genome sequencing worldwide comes from African populations.'

#Genetic data site #openSNP to close and delete data over #privacy concerns
openSNP, a platform for sharing genetic and phenotypic data, will shut down, and delete all user submissions over privacy concerns and risk of misuse by authoritarian governments.
Announced earlier this week by co-founder Bastian Greshake Tzovaras, who expressed concerns about how personal #genomics data is subject to abuse today and how fundamentally landscape has changed over the last 14 years.
