We will also be providing recommendations to other labs on how to perform and interpret to meet the IMS/IMWG definition with a publication led by @lbaughn in @BloodCancerJnl shortly. Stay tuned.

Visualize genomic data with ease using gggenomes, an R package that extends ggplot2 to handle and display genomic information intuitively. Whether you’re comparing genomes, analyzing features, or showcasing synteny, gggenomes provides the tools you need to turn complex genomic data into clear, informative visualizations. Why use gggenomes? ✔️ Genomic-focused visualizations: Specifically designed for handling genomic data, including features, alignments, and comparative analysis. ✔️ Versatile and modular: Create detailed and layered plots for diverse genomic scenarios with flexibility for customization. ✔️ Built on ggplot2: Leverages ggplot2’s familiar framework, making it easy for users to adapt and enhance their visualizations. The example visualization shown here is taken directly from the gggenomes GitHub repository, demonstrating how it transforms genomic data into compelling plots: github.com/thackl/gggenomes Curious to learn more about creating data visualizations in R and using tools like ggplot2 and its extensions? Check out my online course, "Data Visualization in R Using ggplot2 & Friends!"

The MMRF Immune Atlas team describes immune cells & clinical outcomes in myeloma. Emory, Beth Israel, WUSTL, MSSM, Mayo & MMRF profiled >1.1 million marrow cells from CoMMpass patients. Preprint at biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… has details. #myeloma

Grand challenge of moving cancer whole-genome sequencing into the clinic. Comment on the largest whole-genome sequencing study- a myriad of actionable alterations and logistical,technical and economic challenges #precisionmedicine @NatureMedicine bit.ly/3NY4yWo

single-cell folks, what's the cell annotation tool do you recommend for immune cells and tumor cells? singleR? Seurat based label transfer? or sc-best-practices.org/cellul… I still find myself using marker genes manually quite often

WHAT IS THE RISK CLASSIFICATION OF THE t(11;14) in MM? This has been a long-debated question and probably asked in the wrong way. I have always had a special interest in the t(11;14) and want to tell a story and how it relates to venetoclax. #mmsm #ASH19 1/x

Most genomics studies to date have involved people of European ancestry. The resulting lack of diversity now hinders the ability to fully understand how genomic variants contribute to health and disease in all groups, including non-European populations.

Our latest paper is out! Investigating discrepancies in myeloma trial enrolment by ethnicity/ race. We find a major imbalance in minority enrolment particularly for Phase 1/2 trials. We must do better @StashofAsher #mmsm #Diversity haematologica.org/article/vi…

The 🇫🇷 group is to be commended for paving the way of cytogenetic risk assessment in myeloma #mmsm Out in @BloodJournal, del(1p32) confirmed as poor prognostic fator (median survival 49m), particularly if biallelic (median survival 25m) Congrats IFM! ashpublications.org/blood/ar…
