10th Anniversary Core Values blog series: Excellence

Excellence is a mindset and a practice. It’s not somewhere you arrive, but something you strive for, continually refining. It emerges from a culture of openness, curiosity, and accountability.

10th Anniversary Core Values blog series: Openness

Openness is an action. It’s a positive, and proactive, choice to lean-in.

It begins with a simple but powerful question: What do I know that others need to know?

@nilshomer.com, Yossi Farjoun, and @tfenne.bsky.social will be attending #ASHG25 in Boston this year on behalf of Fulcrum Genomics. Let us know if you'll be there too!

Yesterday marked ten years since Fulcrum Genomics was founded. We took a moment to reflect:

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of the journey.

We love working with people who notice how things fit together, who make unwieldy problems work better. The 'Meet the Team' series spotlights humans behind our bioinformatics work. We hope you'll feel like you've met us — or want to. Meet Erin McAuley: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-erin-...

This edition of our 'Meet the Team' features a teammate with a deep expertise in long-read sequencing. Just a few questions to glimpse the person behind the work. By the end of the series we hope you’ll feel like you’ve met us — or want to.
Meet Tim Dunn: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-tim-d...

Today we hear from our VP of Operations, who keeps the big picture moving while staying grounded in the work itself. Here's a quick look at how he thinks and works. By the end, we hope you’ll feel like you’ve met us — or want to.
Meet Clint Valentine: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-clint...

We’re lucky to work with people who are not just skilled, but thoughtful, curious, and quietly surprising. This series of short interviews offers a window into who we are. By the end, we hope you’ll feel like you’ve met us — or want to. Meet Ted Brookings: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-ted-b...

🧬 & 🖥️

Making bioinformatics tools widely available is one of the most important tasks a bioinformatician can undertake. In this post @nilshomer.com shows how to use Grayskull to quickly and reliably create conda recipes to distribute your bioinformatics software.

There’s no single way to do what we do. This series aims to share glimpses of people at Fulcrum Genomics: how they think, what drives them, and what makes them laugh. By the end, we hope you’ll feel like you’ve met us — or want to.

Meet Juliann Chmielecki: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-julia...

🧪 Good Enough Practices in Scientific Computing: Co-developed by our colleague Alison Meynert, this framework for an instructor-led, half-day module will help researchers build practical skills in data analysis, computing, and collaboration. jose.theoj.org/papers/10.21...

We believe in leaving things in a better state than we find them. Founding Partner @tfenne.bsky.social shares how our team contributes back to the open source ecosystem, strengthening the foundations on which many scientific and technical projects are built.
blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/recent-ope...

We think the best part of our work is the people who do it, curious, sharp-minded, and genuinely enjoyable to talk to. This blog series offers brief glimpses into who they are. By the end, we hope you’ll feel like you’ve met us — or want to.
Meet Jeff Gentry: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-jeff-...

Our people are our greatest asset — sharp, thoughtful, and pretty fun to get to know. We have short interviews on our blog to offer a view of each of our colleagues. By the end, we hope you’ll feel like you’ve met us — or want to.

Please meet Jason Fan: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-jason...

Congratulations to Nick Bailey for finishing his PhD with: “Correcting for Bias in Estimates of Watterson’s θ and Tajima's D From Missing Data in Next-Generation Sequencing”.
Projects like this remind us why we love what we do.
