ICYMI: Here is our poster from The Allied Genetics Conference 2024, on ‘ Upgraded genome browsers at the Rat Genome Database support comparative and translational studies’. For more, please visit: https://rgd.mcw.edu/wg/com-menu/poster_archive/ #TAGC24

3 cheers for #TAGC24! What a great meeting, and hats off to the organizers at all levels. Looks like I should have set aside an entire extra week to watch all the talks and look at all the posters I missed though.

Heading back home after this amazing #tagc24 Allied Genetics meeting in Washington D.C. First time I meet in person my lab mates and my first time in USA so far. It is always a humbling experience to see all the smart people and cool projects out there. Science is a global endeavour.

And I'm not the only award winner! Thanks to GSA for giving my postdoc Renee a DeLill Nasser award to attend and present at #TAGC24 https://genestogenomes.org/congratulations-to-the-fall-2023-delill-nasser-awardees/

Gave a kind of scrap book talk for my Ira Herskowitz award lecture at #TAGC24. Really nice to think about all the awesome people I've gotten to work with on such cool science. I sat down and immediately thought of 3 people I forgot to mention 🙃 Love the yeast community!

Didn't get 1 minute of downtime at my #TAGC24 poster tonight and ended up talking to people for the full 2 hours instead of just my assigned time! Kind of sad to miss all the other posters I meant to go visit, but loved all the ideas and feedback I got on where to take our yEvo teaching lab.

Please join us for the Alliance workshop ‘Tools for Comparative Genomics from the Alliance of Genome Resources’ TODAY at 2pm, National Harbor 4. National Harbor is above the Ballroom level; take the escalator between the Potomac & Maryland wings (elevator is just past the escalators). #TAGC24

The followup to this is that we got email later today saying that the concurrent session recordings would be available no later than Monday, which is after the meeting is over. From where I'm sitting, that means it's not actually a hybrid meeting at all, just one they're recording. #TAGC24

Saturday is a big day for the lab at #TAGC24. Postdoc Renee is up first in the Yeast Models and Technology session, presenting her deep mutational scan on G6PD at 11:00.

#TAGC24 There’s an Alliance talk TODAY at 2:30: Update on the Alliance of Genome Resources in C. elegans Session 2

Okay wow so #TAGC24 was sold (literally sold, I paid money for this) as a hybrid conference, and the virtual experience has been, not to put too fine a point on it, dogshit. None of the concurrent sessions are zoomed live. The recordings which "will be available within 24 hours after the session ends" aren't. More than half the posters I've gone looking for aren't uploaded. I'm feeling pretty dicked around by GSA here.

I’m at #TAGC24 and browsing posters when I saw this one. Without looking at the authors, I thought to myself “who reimplemented #JBrowse to be vertical?” Silly me: the #MGI folks just took a wide screenshot and rotated it 😂

How appropriate that our G3 paper with @riddhiman_garge @edward_marcotte et al came out in final form while I'm at #TAGC24! Systematic profiling of ale yeast protein dynamics across fermentation and repitching https://academic.oup.com/g3journal/article/14/3/jkad293/7492100

Anyone else on Mastodon attending #TAGC24 ? I fear I'm doing to have to move back to the bad place for a week.
