As a digression from science content, I thought I'd share a fun little data viz I made.
TL;DR, I have gotten REALLY into road cycling the past couple of years; one thing I love about the sport is all the data it produces. Here's one view of my journey to 13,500 mi this year.🚴♂️😀
What can I say, I like to ride...a lot...especially for a great cause like this. 🚴♂️🧬🏆
#Obliteride is an inspiring event and we're so proud of Team Adaptive and all the participants who took part in the cause to raise funds for life-saving cancer research. A big shout-out to Adaptive’s @bryan_howie for biking 4K miles and Team Adaptive for logging over 9K miles!
Wow, lots of good memories of working on this paper, including the time Peter brought us grad students a 6-pack as we were hacking away at figures late into the night. I spent endless hours trying to cram as much information into Figure 5 as I could.

Excited to lead a team of scientists generating large-scale functional #genomics datasets to expedite the derivation of therapeutic hypotheses for immune-mediated diseases? If so, please apply for our Senior Staff Scientist position: bit.ly/3ugUm0K

.@molly_przew and I wrote a review of @kph3k’s book, The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA matters for social equality, for @journal_evo: [pdf: gcbias.files.wordpress.com/2… ] 1/6
I got my start as a scientist when, as a junior at UW, I showed up to Debbie's lab and asked if I could do a project in "computational genomics." Debbie brought a brazen confidence to everything she did, and her delighted cackle was legendary. RIP DN.
My post doc advisor Debbie Nickerson of @uwgenome died on Christmas Eve. She changed the way we thought of and measured single nucleotide polymorphisms. Genomics has lost one of its greats. She was a fierce advocate for many trainees. I don’t know how to process this loss.

Fred Hutch Computational Biology is gearing up to host a bunch of undergraduate interns this summer. If you are an undergrad interested in the intersection of 💻and🧬, or if you know one, please check it out! SURP is a phenomenal experience.

We are looking to hire a fully-funded postdoc to work on rockfish genomics, adaptation, and speciation in the context of extreme lifespan following up on our recent publication science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… See the ad below and sudmantlab.org/ #popgen #aging #teamfish #genetics

Great extension of tcrdist by @agartland and Koshlan Mayer-Blackwell for defining “meta-clonotypes” of similar TCRs from antigen-enriched repertoires. It will be an important tool for addressing the challenge of private specificity in repertoire profiling. elifesciences.org/articles/6…

Interested in this line of research? We have several job opportunities in the lab:
1-Postdoc positions (wet and dry lab folks).
2-Lab Manager.
3-PhD students in 2022
If you are interested or want to learn more about our ongoing projects DM/email me directly. Please RT
Now out in @ScienceMagazine our work on ancestry-associated differences on the transcriptional response to influenza A (IAV) infection. Work led by the amazing @he_randolph. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
All of us at @AdaptiveBiotech know that Rachel is the best, and now it's official! So happy to see this well-deserved recognition!
I’m so excited to share that I'm a @STATnews Wunderkind! I’m honored to be among such impressive company. Big thank you to my @AdaptiveBiotech colleagues for your support.
I am excited and humbled to announce that I am now the VICE PRESIDENT of Computational Biology at @AdaptiveBiotech!
A lot has happened in the 8+ years since I joined Adaptive, and I am elated to see how far we've come and how many things we're within reach of achieving.
I work for a company that makes a T-cell COVID test, but I also have important people in my life who are taking B-cell depleting therapies, and I would love to know how much immunity is provided when antibodies can't be made. This article gets it right.

I love this book.
My new popular science book, A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching: Getting to Know the World's Most Misunderstood Bird, is officially out! It's full of fun facts, jokes, and wild tales. Booklist called it "the most perfect of popular science titles"(!)

Functional genomics folks, we’re hiring a scientist @VariantBio in Seattle. If you’re interested in building multi-omics resources for historically underrepresented populations, consider joining our awesome and fast-growing team! boards.greenhouse.io/variant…

We just released CompAIRR – a tool that reduces greatly the longstanding computational bottleneck of identifying shared identical and similar sequences among large sets of immune repertoires. All the details/links are in the thread below. Feedback is very welcome! @airr_community
We are happy to report a dramatic speedup for one of the core computations for adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR) analysis - the discovery and counting of receptors that overlap between repertoires! Check out our CompAIRR method: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/7
