The moon is full tonight. 🌕
For those far from home, we hope Westlake feels a little like family. Wherever you are, look up.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 🥮✨中秋节快乐！

✈️ Take a flight above Yungu with us. ✈️
🌳 New stunning drone footage of our Yungu Campus captures the scale, beauty, and energy of a campus designed for discovery. From cutting-edge laboratories and modern buildings to waterways and green spaces woven throughout the campus, every angle reflects our vision for the future of science, education, and global collaboration.🍃

SV-GWAS is highly accessible now! Our new paper in @NatureGenet shows how HiFi long-read assemblies let us repurpose SNP-based GWAS data to impute structural variants (SVs) to interrogate their role in human complex traits and diseases. @WeiyangBai nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Can we predict high myopia risk at birth? 👁️🧬 Our new @NatureGenetics paper leverages >1.7M people to decode the genetic basis of myopia. We trained a powerful risk prediction model—an early "warning radar" to protect vision. Proud of the team! nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Nature research paper: The 1000 Chinese Pangenome empowers medical and population genetics
go.nature.com/4sPaSlA
Excited to see our work in @Nature! We combined our PIGA workflow & a cost-effective sequencing strategy to build the 1000 Chinese Pangenome (1KCP). We hope this methodology & resource help unlock complex variants in human health. @wang_yifei @DuanZhongqu

Connecting genes, cells, and space. Liyang Song’s gsMap framework precisely maps genetic signals onto tissues and single cells, revealing the cellular origins of complex diseases and their spatial organization. Science, beautifully decoded.
🎉Celebrating Liyang Song as a 2025 Westlake Presidential Award winner! 🧬
