The new Disney Pixar movie Elio has the main character sporting an eye patch. This seems like a good time to spread the word about amblyopia, the treatment for it, and #NIHfunded research on brain-based causes of vision loss. brnw.ch/21wU0DC

Sniffles2 @lfpaulin detects mosaic SVs with Alu insertions compared to short read sequencing. Time for long read sequencing to better identify these difficult variants! #ASHG24 – at Denver, CO
