New paper out in Nature Communications: structural variation in the Qatari population. Great team effort with @kfakhro and @elbayaliyev. #genomics #structuralvariation doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

@elonmusk There has been a clear increase in hateful content. I ignore such comments after the first few words, they’re not worth remembering.

The BBC has fallen so far

@BBCBreaking Whatever interpretation you choose to give to this event, in civilised countries if you want to stop a car you shoot at the tyres, not at the head of a driver who may not be particularly careful but is clearly unarmed and harmless

@WorldDarkWeb2 A violent clip, tailor-made for the violence fan club

Two women provoke an officer, and he reacts. People should learn to keep their hands to themselves

@G_Valditara Tristemente meraviglioso, nella forma e nel contenuto

Se si è d'accordo che gli stranieri si assimilino sui valori fondamentali iscritti nella Costituzione ciò avverrà più facilmente se nelle classi la maggioranza sarà di italiani, se studieranno in modo potenziato l'italiano laddove già non lo conoscano bene, se nelle scuole si insegni approfonditamente la storia, la letteratura, l'arte, la musica italiana, se i genitori saranno coinvolti pure loro nell'apprendimento della lingua e della cultura italiana e se non vivranno in comunità separate. È in questa direzione che noi intendiamo muoverci.

Massive news: eLife to abolish accept/reject decisions: papers will just be “peer reviewed”. Others can argue about this, but lots of interesting consequences. 1/9 elifesciences.org/articles/83889

@imshanereaction the frog move!

Lots to think about this week, mainly how Liz Truss curtsies

@NFGmart @DavidBTN2 made my day

@DavidBTN2 OH MY GOD shes Gollum

Its not only #LizTruss that cant curtsey. May looked like she was struggling to deliver soup to a table.

@bvhalldorsson Fantastic piece of work

The sequences of 150,119 genomes in the UK biobank nature.com/articles/s4158… The first release of our sequencing of all 500k individuals of the UKB. Below is a short run through of some of our main findings 1/12

@patrickaturley @cathrynlewis Same here!!!

@cathrynlewis When I signed into my work email today, I got both the initial invitation to review a paper (came Fri night) and the reminder to respond (came Sun morning)...

Some journals haven't got the message that reviewers work for free ".. you will be given 14 days to complete the assignment" And 48 hour reminders of the invitations. Can I start a campaign for journals to count working days, not calendar days, and only email Mon-Fri?

#Ukraine please RT: phone operator @VodafoneUK, do not cut me out from my relatives and friends. Three days of heartless lies already! I can pay for my calls to #Ukraine +380! No need for free calls, which are dropped, before they go through

@NPirastu @robbeewedow Very interesting, this is actually something that was queuing in our list

Another bias to be aware of for GWAS studies: items non response bias: Thanks to @robbeewedow for pulling this together.

Our paper on #COVID19 related loss of smell and taste is now published: nature.com/articles/s4158…

A remarkable moment in the history of GWAS! "... using GWAS data from 5.4 million individuals of diverse ancestries, that 12,111 independent SNPs that are significantly associated with height account for nearly all of the common SNP-based heritability." biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have submitted new results to medRxiv: Omicron infection enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variant The preprint can be found here: sigallab.net

We conducted a transcriptomic survey to study properties of escape from X-inactivation across tissues and cells in female twins. @A_L_Roberts @_alesssia @Julia_Moustafa @MarioFalchi @kerrin_small @TwinsUKres biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Research | Ana Valdes & Patrick Wyatt (@TwinsUKres, @NottmBRC) find that the postprandial glycaemic dip is a predictor of hunger and subsequent food intake. nature.com/articles/s4225…

@matteorenzi c'e' poco da spiegare, quello che avete fatto e' vergognoso. La gola di poter mettere le mani sugli appalti non dovrebbe essere piu' importante della vita delle persone.

Stiamo toccando numeri record. Record di donazioni economiche a Italia Viva. E record di preoccupazioni e critiche sui social. Normale quando si radicalizza uno scontro. È utile spiegare, spiegare, spiegare: l’Enews di questa settimana matteorenzi.it/enews_680_vene…
