🧵 4. Why this review?
With the MMR VCEP refining ACMG/AMP rules (🔗), now’s the time to examine how classification is done—and how new technologies can strengthen precision diagnostics for hereditary cancer.

🧵 3. What’s next?
We highlight how long-read sequencing, RNA-seq & AI-based tools like AlphaMissense and EVE might close the gap on MMR VUS interpretation

🧵 2. Functional assays
What’s the role of assays like CIMRA, deep mutational scanning, and RNA-seq in classifying MMR variants? Our review compares their strengths, limitations & evidence levels under ACMG/AMP criteria.

🧵 1. Why this matters
⚠️ 42.6% of MMR gene variants are still classified as VUS—leaving many Lynch syndrome patients without a clear diagnosis. Our review outlines how integrating experimental and computational tools can change that.

🧬 New from the MGZ: Our latest review tackles how to classify variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in mismatch repair (MMR) genes tied to Lynch syndrome using functional assays, in silico tools, and sequencing approaches.

Very excited to announce that I am one of the new Junior RNA Scientists Representatives of the RNA Society 👩🏻‍🔬🧬

Follow the Bluesky 🦋 accounts of the
@jrrnascientists.bsky.social and @rnasociety.bsky.social accounts to keep up to date 📆

Excited to be attending and presenting MGZ's work on @nanoporetech.com sequencing at #CENDa2025 next week (Feb 17-19) in Telč, Czech Republic! 🎤✨

A fantastic event ahead covering the latest in #nanopore sequencing 🧬

Can’t make it in person? Join online! 💻

More info: www.nanoporedays.eu

We have been busing working on models to detect all 2'Ome-RNA modified nucleotides on top of PseudoU, m6A, m5C and Inosine using @nanoporetech.com direct RNA sequencing.
This is still very preliminary but here are a few examples of what it looks like on Human #rRNA prepared with standard lib prep 🤩

Always happy to see a presentation from @tingfordha.bsky.social from @twistbioscience.bsky.social, this time on cfDNA library preparation, at the European Liquid Biopsy Society (ELBS) General Assembly in the beautiful Barcelona 🧬

Here for my first post. Our new approach to study tRNA aminoacylation by nanopore sequencing. Started as a napkin sketch ~1 year ago! This was a fun one, congrats to @laurakwhite.bsky.social and Aleks.
