Last week, we released the initial structural variant (SV) callset for the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), which included nearly a half-million distinct SVs discovered across ~15 thousand human whole-genome sequences.

We've posted our results as a preprint manuscript on bioRxiv, but we've also proivded a more digestable overview of the study...

Recently, I wrote a short peice for a great local science news & media outlet, Science In The News (SITN), to explain how population-scale genetic sequencing is driving major advances in precision medicine.

The article is targeted primarily for the lay public (i.e. non-specialists), so it's mostly jargon-free. It gets even better for those among us who are more visually inclined learners: a fellow PhD student at HMS, Brad Wierbowski, put together some great graphical figures to explain the core concepts (thanks Brad!).

While not a dedicated,...
