#PhDone !!
I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I had during my exit talk. Thank you @ucsfipqb, @UCSFCancer, and @WitteLab for the fun memories.

The last chapter of my thesis on genetic risk factors for developing multiple primary tumors is now on @medrxivpreprint! Through #WES data from @uk_biobank and @KPDOR, we identify potential pleiotropic variation in individuals with multiple cancers. @johnwitte @LoriSakoda

Three very exciting summer internship opportunities to work with my colleagues in the @23andMe #therapeutics #compbio group: bit.ly/3J5PBwM bit.ly/3IZgxOs bit.ly/3osH7rs

@RoshniAPatel Super interesting paper! Do you think sample size has any impact on delta since you are restricting to EUR regions within African Americans with ~80% avg global African Ancestry? Also, have you tried ascertaining eQTLs in African Americans to see if the same trend is observed?
English
For gene expression, we find that delta is significantly nonzero, indicating causal variant effect sizes differ between populations; for LDL-C, we observe a similar point estimate although this is not significant, likely due to lower statistical power. (7/9)

Thrilled to share my first paper from my PhD, advised by @jkpritch and in close collaboration with my co-first author @shailamusharoff, on testing for differences in causal variant effect sizes across populations. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/9)

Happy to present our matters arising @NatureGenet re Tractor (Atkinson et al NG 2021).
We argue that Tractor reduces GWAS power in admixed pops in realistic settings and we recommend caution when using it for GWAS in admixed pops.

I have had an outstanding experience in the BMI program at UCSF and highly recommend anybody applying for PhDs this cycle (or just interested in what a comp bio PhD might look like) to consider attending this information session to learn more about the program!
Ryan Hernandez@rdhernand
Thinking about a PhD in comp bio, bioinformatics, or a related field addressing challenges in biology or health using the power of computation? Consider the BMI PhD Program @UCSF! Come learn more on Friday Nov 5 at 3pm Pacific Time. Register here: tiny.ucsf.edu/nDCch6.

Have you heard about the Nigerian 100K genome project?
Amazing results from the initial 1K whole-genome sequence of 50 tribal groups in Nigeria, presented by @codushlaine at #ASHG21.
Exciting moment to see great science from the beloved motherland
