Addressing biases in precision medicine can bridge the knowledge gap and reduce health disparities. It's time to prioritise inclusive, global approaches in medical genomics! @tarazona_santos @carolina160195 @victor_snail @MarlaMendesA @frsoares7 @OcOutlier @MeddlyS #popgen

A new chapter of the Peruvian Genome Project is out! We explored the genetic composition and dynamics of individuals living in urban areas. We analyze genome-wide data from 432 urban individuals across 13 regions of Peru, including 346 newly genotyped! (1/6)

Very happy to share our recent preprint, which presents an extensive analysis of genetic diversity and subcontinental ancestry in the All of Us Research Program. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Although autism shows a striking sex bias—4males:1female—most studies still avoid looking at the sex chromosomes. In our new paper in @AJHGNews, we conducted the first X-chromosome-wide association study (XWAS) for ASD! authors.elsevier.com/c/1kICigeXA9TI Let’s dig in👇

What does it mean to be Latin American? I don't know. The term spans so many cultures and identities that defining a single concept feels impossible. Today, our article on one aspect of Latin American diversity (genetics) was published in Cell Genomics. cell.com/cell-genomics/…

We all recognize the importance of increasing diversity in genetic studies. But what’s the new insight from our latest paper in @CellCellPress (cell.com/cell/fulltext/…)? Let’s dive into it with this quick thread I did with the help of my friends @ThiagoPeixotoL @victor_snail

Don’t miss our June 14 #ScienceMatters seminar! Dr. Eduardo Tarazona Santos @tarazona_santos of @ufmg will discuss how ancestry of Latin American Indigenous and admixed populations influence health and disease. Register today at: bit.ly/45yK9yx #Genomics #Genetics

Who are these postdocs who have €1900 to pay for a 3-day online EMBO leadership course?

PREPRINT ALERT! We (the @OcOutlier group and collaborators) are GLAD to share our new preprint on the Genetics of Latin American Diversity (the GLAD Project) available on @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Have you watched this yet? It's the first taste of what Sandman is going to be like. #Sandman

Our new work using admixture mapping identified a genetic variant of African origin associated with BMI only in women, demonstrating how admixed populations are a source of new relevant phenotype-associated genetic variants. #LDGH @tarazona_santos http:nature.com/articles/s4136…

I JUST CAME ACROSS THE MOST ADORABLE PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HAD TO MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT HAVE AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!!!

This is the final result of several years of hard work with @MarlaMendesA , @ialvim, Carolina Silva, and @tarazona_santos. In this article we describe how geography and cultural interactions have affected the genetic make-up of Present-day Native Americans pnas.org/content/early/…

@flossiebella Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world, they can reach over 100 kg, 1.30 cm in length and 60 cm in height. They live in semi-aquatic environments, stay in the water most of the day and have webbed feet that allow them to move quickly in the water.

My son Milo, is 9, deaf & very keen on animals and packed lunches. I have been putting an animal fact in his lunchbox each day. Except I'm now running out of facts. So if you have any good animal facts, could I have them please? #milosanimalfacts #animals #FactoftheDay

We are very pleased to announce that our updated version of ABraOM with 1,171 whole-genomes is now online at abraom.ib.usp.br Please, read our preprint on BioRXiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
