I am excited to share our recent work published in @GenomeBiolEvol. We report that human enhancers have both ancient cores and recently evolved DNA. This combo is important for enhancer activity and functional variation across human populations. Check it out!
Sarah Fong@slifong

How does human enhancer DNA evolve? Ancient core & younger DNA can combine to form a biochemically active substrate! Distinct TF binding, stronger purifying selection, less common variation hallmark cores v. young DNA. Check out @capra_lab's new work👇 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/ev…

@robwilliamsiii Yes! We've had exactly the same thought. Want to help us with the rodents?

@capra_lab If I was looking for a COSMIS score that was only available in the github repo, where would I find that?

I am very pleased to (belatedly) share the publication in @NatureComms of our recent work integrating population genetic and protein structural perspectives to quantify mutational constraint in 3D.  nature.com/articles/s4146…

We find pervasive 3D constraint and demonstrate that incorporating the structural perspective improves performance at several variant interpretation tasks. We hope that COSMIS will complement existing methods for interpreting protein-coding variation in evolution and disease.

Check out this thread on new work lead by @abin_abe and @Lab_LaBella from the @RokasLab to quantify evolutionary signatures on genomic regions associated with traits from hundreds of GWAS. And @abin_abe has put together a package if you want to try it out yourself!
The Lab LaBella@Lab_LaBella

Preprint Alert! We @abin_abe @Lab_LaBella @RokasLab @capra_lab asked which evolutionary forces have influenced genomic regions associated w/ human traits? We analyzed >900 GWASs to quantify enrichment for 14 evolutionary measures Paper: tinyurl.com/9ba8ceae Img: our approach

Experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions since defending my PhD. But these faces capture the best one, pure JOY!!🤗🍾I could not have asked for a better mentor than Tony @capra_lab. The entire journey was amazing and the few extra letters after my name don't hurt either🙃🎓

Check out our preprint and @EvonneMcArthur's thread below. We apply deep learning to reconstruct Neanderthal and Denisovan 3D folding patterns and then ask some cool questions about how this might have affected recent human evolution! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Evonne McArthur@EvonneMcArthur

Ever wonder what the #3Dgenome folding🔺of a Neanderthal looked like?! Could it hold any clues as to where and why we have DNA 🧬and trait differences? Check out our @capra_lab, Pollard lab & @gfudenberg lab collaboration @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/8
