Happy International Day of Light💡

NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory will #CaptureTheCosmos in a range of wavelengths of light like...

🌈Visible: the colors we see
🕶️Ultraviolet: high-energy light invisible to our eyes
🔥Infrared: low-energy light that's also invisible

Allele-specific expression (ASE) is a widespread mechanism in primates. Understanding ASE across genes and tissues will advance our knowledge of its influence on disease risk and identify causative variants. Happy to have contributed a little to this important work.

Genome-wide allele-specific expression in multi-tissue samples from healthy male baboons reveals the transcriptional complexity of mammals

Knowing which parental allele is preferentially expressed or suppressed in our genome has profound implications. Using tissues from healthy, young baboons, Ramasamy et al. found widespread allele-spec...
