Jordan Cahoon

@CharlestonCWKC Thank you for being an amazing mentor to me for these past 3+ years!! I appreciate all your support and guidance from helping me navigate grad school apps to publishing my first paper. Being part of the lab was one of my favorite parts about going to USC. I will miss you all!!

Congratulations to @itscahoon - for winning one of USC’s Discovery Scholars for excellence in research, and also the Barry Goldwater Scholarship (as a junior)! You taught me how far a motivated UG can go. I am so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you will achieve!

📢New from @itscahoon @CharlestonCWKC & co 📰Imputation accuracy across global human populations cell.com/ajhg/abstract/…

🎉Congratulations @CharlestonCWKC 📰Inverted genomic regions between reference genome builds in humans impact imputation accuracy and decrease the power of association testing #ASHG23 cell.com/hgg-advances/f…

🎉We are THRILLED to recognize & celebrate this year's winners of the @HGGAdvances Award for Outstanding Early Career Publication: @genetisaur & @CharlestonCWKC #ASHG23

In case you need some weekend reading, very proud of the new preprint from our group, Spearheaded by the superb recent PhD, Caoqi Fan, on leveraging the genealogical trees to better infer the demographic histories of human populations! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our paper on estimating the expected number of African and European genealogical ancestors for a typical African American (born btwn 1960-1965) is out in this month's issue of GENETICS. Stay tuned for a thread and a series of excellent write-ups from GENETICS, USC, and Stanford.

Huge thanks to my co-authors @camellia_rui, Echo Tang, Chris Simmons, Jalen Langie, @imyingchulo, and @chen_cmh! 🙌This work could not have been done without their tremendous help! Welcoming any and all feedback on our work! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The bottom line: we must sequence more underrepresented individuals to increase inclusivity in GWAS.🌎

I am excited to share my first pre-print as part of my research in @CharlestonCWKC’s lab. Interested in learning about which populations impute well with the TOPMed reference panel? Read the🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

And to kick off 2023 @SCalEMeeting is the superb undergrad from our group, @itscahoon on imputation efficacy across global human populations! This talk made me come to a campus at 8:45am on a Saturday!!

USC computer science students @itscahoon and @AllenCChang are recipients of the Goldwater Scholarship, the premier undergraduate scholarship for students pursuing careers in mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering! Congratulations! tinyurl.com/4k7huryx @USCViterbi
