The best Genomics newsletters

A practicing data scientist and tenured professor writes about AI, genomics, biosecurity, and how AI is changing scientific practice. Issues combine personal opinion on academic evaluation and publishing norms with pointers to relevant research and calls for papers.

Official blog of the Open Targets platform, covering data releases, new genomic datasets and the research behind them. Readers get detailed release notes and behind-the-scenes stories on target identification for drug discovery.

Omic.ly is a newsletter explaining omics and clinical laboratory diagnostics, covering sequencing technologies, microbiome science and cancer biology research. Each issue gives a readable, expert-level walkthrough of a technique or recent paper, with context on how it applies to diagnostics.

Dayhoff Health's newsletter explains microbiome research and its links to everyday health, such as how blood markers and gut microbes complement each other. It also covers health-benefit cost trends and, through its sister company, computational tools for cancer research.

Vessel is a community-driven advisory focused on genomic profiling and liquid biopsy in oncology, offering briefings on variant interpretation and circulating tumor DNA. Readers get practical, step-by-step tutorials and background on clinical ctDNA testing and tumor fraction estimation.

Mendelspod is a podcast-style newsletter that publishes short write-ups of interviews with biotechnology and genomics researchers about advances in basic biology and human disease. Each issue summarises a conversation on topics such as long-read sequencing of repeat expansions, pan-cancer molecular testing, and single-cell atlases in plants.

This newsletter announces and documents the Biodiversity Cell Atlas initiative, a community effort to build single-cell molecular atlases across the eukaryotic tree of life. Issues cover the initiative's white paper and summaries of its community meetings, including participant and organizer lists.
