@sproullab.bsky.socialCombining MAVEs with a predictor trained without population data reclassified over 90% of VUS. This suggests experiments and ancestry-unbiased models could help close the diagnostic gap in underrepresented populations. Joint work with @jmarshlab.bsky.social, @pxthxk.bsky.social and NTU Singapore.
Show PostHow do computational predictors compare with experimental assays (MAVEs) for variant classification? Across five hereditary cancer genes, MAVE scores were more conservative (fewer pathogenic calls) yet more decisive (fewer indeterminate calls) after ACMG/AMP calibration. doi.org/10.1186/s130...
Show PostIMO the paper of the year in the gene regulation field - such a clean and clear study, showing how promoter-enhancer contacts mediate transcriptional activation. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...
Show PostAmazing paper! Also amazing to do some of the most advanced imaging and still drawing absolutely rudimentary figures with powerpoint 😅
