2026 Winner of the Lorne Genome Julian Wells Medal: Christine Wells (no relation!) @stemcellsystems.bsky.social congratulations, well deserved!!
That's a wrap for Lorne Genome 2026! Thanks to all the speakers for fascinating talks, poster presenters for hot of the press science, trade for making the experiments possible and of course all the attendees for great discussion. See you next year!
Lorne Genome 2027 will be held 14 to 17th February in Lorne Australia. Our invited speakers will include Karen Arndt, Neil Brockdorff, Laura Banaszynski and Fides Zenk.
Honoured to have a member of our Intl Scientific Advisory Board in Australia this week. Prof Brenda Andrews from the Univ of Toronto (pictured right) delivered an invited talk at the Lorne Genome Conference and caught up with our Chief Investigator Traude Beilharz, president of the Conference Board.

Congratulations to winners of the Lorne Genome Best Student Poster Prizes: Jessica Hawes, Sarah Berent, David Neville, Sandeep Kum and Andrea Daner!
4/ uncharacterised transcripts in myeloid cells: still discovering new genes in the human genome🧬! Pathogen 🦠 stimulating meyloid cells revealed many alternate start sites particularlyin secreted proteins. So important to profile diversity of cell states www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
3/ www.stemformatics.org : curated gene expression profiles w visualisations on a digital platform to support the research community: QC, data curation and normalisation approach is so important in ensuring data included is quality, particularly when combining cross platform data
Last day of #Lornegenome. A great venue, cool talks and discussions. Learnt about diversification of mammalian genomes, inheritance of mutations and impact of mutagens, how TFs direct chromatin organisation and so much more. New collaborations, new projects, can’t wait til next year

Could @lornegenome.bsky.social be the MOST Aussie genomics conference?
