Reilly Lab Annual New Year’s Card
Following in the amazing annual tradition of saying thanks with a lab holiday card started by the Sabeti Lab, in 2022 the Reilly Lab decided to start ringing in the new year with a twist of our own. Below you’ll find the growing additions to our annual tradition!
2024
As we look to the blank canvas of 2025, the Reilly Lab is excited to share our annual New Year's card: "Mutated Masterpieces". Inspired by the fact small changes to our genetic code can lead to innovative outcomes, we decided to emphasize both the science and creativity critical for research. In our third year as a lab, we're continuing to explore the genome's 3.1 x 109 individual bases. While this is a big search space, we know it's a huge team of collaborators, mentors, trainees, funders, friends, family, administrators, and more, contributing in ways large and small to enable our work, so thank you.
We had a lot of fun adding some 'science' to each of these classical artistic works. Be sure click here for some 'curatorial' notes on these 'supplemental figures'. We wish you a Happy New Year filled with exciting discoveries, creative breakthroughs, and the joy of exploration.
May your 2025 be a year where even small changes lead to breakthroughs, learning, and shared success.
2023
As we search the genome for causal variants in human evolution and disease, can you spot the lab members and scientific puns hidden in our bustling lab? Let’s celebrate the curiosity, breakthroughs, and excitement that make our world worth exploring.
The Reilly Lab wishes you a Happy 2024!

2022
This is the Reilly Lab's first full year in existence, and we’re incredibly thankful for your role in helping every one of us get here. Just like starting a lab, 2022 contained many unknowns. We hope that our New Years greeting is a reminder that any mystery can be solved through teamwork, ingenuity, creativity and a dash of fun. We wish you all the best in 2023 and hope you enjoy our game of Reilly Lab Clue:
