Thrilled to announce our latest study published in @CellGenomics ! cell.com/cell-genomics/… Big shoutout to our amazing collaborators @ChiayenChen @getian107 @hailianghuang @AnnejaneF and many others! #GWAS #TaiwanBiobank🧬

Great collaboration, delighted to be part of it!

@weizhouw @CGM_MGH @harvardmed @broadinstitute @StanleyCenter Congratulations Wei!! Excited for your new journey!!

I’m thrilled to share that I will be starting my lab as an assistant professor @CGM_MGH @harvardmed and an associate member @broadinstitute @StanleyCenter this fall. I'm very honored and grateful for the opportunity to continue working in this incredible scientific community.

Great paper from the Epi25 collaborative on the rare variant associations of different types of epilepsy based on WES analysis of ~54k individuals. This paper is packed with insightful findings. I'll highlight a few 🧵 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

@AhmadAlKhleifat @dnanexus @KingsIoPPN @DCGenomics @uk_biobank Any chance of hosting a virtual session in the future? we've been looking into how to use RAP...labs outside the UK will really benefit from this!

We’re hosting with @dnanexus a free, in-person workshop at @KingsIoPPN where @DCGenomics will discuss how to start running your analysis on the UK Biobank Research Analysis Platform @uk_biobank. This is open to all UK Biobank researchers! Register here —>hello.dnanexus.com/ukbrap-london-…

New preprint! We studied how rare protein-coding variants impact cognitive function & linked diseases in @uk_biobank. We identified 8 large-effect cog fx genes, dosage-sensitivity for KDM5B, additivity of rare variant and polygenic risk & more (1/12) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

@MireilleKamariz @BioEngUCLA @UCLA Congratulations Mireille!!!! So very well deserved!! excited to see all the great things that’ll be coming from your lab🤩

I’m excited to announce I’ll be joining @BioEngUCLA @UCLA as Assistant Professor in January 2023! #NewPI #AcademicTwitter When I was born in Burundi at the onset of civil war, the probability of achieving this milestone was near zero. Yet here I am. 1/n

I predict 2022 as the Year of the National Biobanks. After many years of investment, they are now generating data at a population-scale. MVP. FinnGen.All of Us. Estonia. UKGH. UKBB. Retweet w/ other examples @AllofUsCEO @FinnGen_FI @dvh13 @zakkohane @atulbutte @dalygene

So depressing rereading this thread of the first embryo selection by broad genomic profiling from healthy donors in the US

Today we are thrilled to announce the #COVID19 HGI manuscript is published @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… In this study, we report that the human genome significantly contributes to an individual’s response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. 1/

Fantastic to have this paper out! Julia Goodrich and @miriam_udler did a seriously heroic amount of work to explore a critical question: if you carry a rare variant previously reported as causing a "monogenic" disease, how likely are you to actually have the disease?

@AndrewWeil15 @GWAS_lit we used ggcorrplot!

Analysis across Taiwan Biobank, Biobank Japan and UK Biobank identifies hundreds of novel loci for 36 quantitative traits medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m excited to share DeepNull, led by @FHormozdiari from the Genomics team in @GoogleHealth, which improves statistical power of GWAS by better modeling non-linear interactions between covariates, which improves detection of genetic associations 1/6

On behalf of the Bipolar Exome (BipEx) project, I'm excited to present our analyses of exome sequencing data from 13,933 bipolar disorder cases and 14,422 controls which highlights AKAP11 as a shared risk gene with schizophrenia: medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… (1/9)

Exciting day for COVID-19 host genetics! 🧬🎊 1) Flagship @covid19_hgi paper. Largest GWAS for COVID-19. 50000 cases. 15 loci medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 2) The clinical impact of the strongest genetic variant for COVID-19 and its age-dependent effect. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

@egatkinson Congratulations Elizabeth!!!

I am very excited to announce that I will be starting up a group at Baylor College of Medicine in June! Potential trainees interested in statistical and population genetics on diverse human populations and complex (brain) phenotypes, please feel free to get in contact!

This paper was a longtime coming. In no particular order, some of the interesting things to learn from the sequencing and analysis of 53,831 human genomes. 1/n nature.com/articles/s4158… PDF: nature.com/articles/s4158…
