Excited to share our latest contribution to mapping genes for traits using phylogenies #PhyloG2P#PhyloGWAS@MolBioEvol! PhyloAcc-GT incorporates gene tree variation and improved ease of use !

Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school.
Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping?

super excited to share our new paper on polygenic epistasis! we introduce a new model and show how structured statistical epistasis can help us study complex trait biology. huge thanks to my friend and lab-mate @studyjeromics, and my mentor @andywdahl!

25 years ago, today (Oct 24, 1997), 'Gattaca' was released.
Me & @DocEdge85 chose to commemorate the event w/ a technical perspective recently published in GENETICS @GeneticsGSA
Here I'll just post several items related to the broader project.

Are you an undergrad thinking about grad school in a biology-related field? Do you identify as a member of a historically excluded group in STEM, grow up with in a disadvantaged background, or experience an ongoing disability? Come join our amazing @UCSF_PROPEL community!🧵
cannot stop thinking about this paper -- the misuse and misinterpretation of genetics research is a hard and complicated problem but it is not hard and complicated to commit to having real, honest discussions about the societal implications of our work!
It was a pleasure to work with and learn from @JedMSP @HennLab @dralhindi and @Nature in the processing of writing this commentary: https://t.co/XQLxICqj9n. Thanks especially to @JedMSP for suggesting a lead photo centering the victims of hate crimes by white nationalists. 1/3
Thanks for celebrating #BIGxWeek with us, @TheACMG! Check out the link in the tweet below to some FREE #BIGxScience articles on Black women and breast cancer.
UChicago's Genetics DEI committees have put together an online panel to give prospective students the chance to chat w a diverse panel of PhD students and faculty - they'll share application info & app fee waivers so spread the word! 🎉
Interested in grad school in genetics? Check out this upcoming panel hosted by @HGEN_UChicago and @UChicagoGGSB to learn about the application process and meet current students/faculty! 🧬
Have you ever wondered about whether epistasis shapes human quantitative traits? Is chasing it a fool's errand? Thanks to the wonderful postdoc program @ICERM, @lorin_crawford and I have dropped another single on @biorxivpreprint, co-led by Greg Darnell & @SLiMulateshady. 1/4
Preprint up: Community co-design of the @StanfordHealth Preventive Genomics Program- partnering with community members to build a clinical program for polygenic scores. Big thanks to our community participants and co-authors for their expertise & time https://t.co/wrQoVNMQhI 1/5
✨ Excited to share our most recent work on population genetics in Southwest India! ✨
🗣️ We ask: What is the relationship between genetic & oral histories in this region? 🧬

🧵 A thread with some highlights …
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. https://t.co/1Smhr09IiA (1/9)
Come to my #ASHG21 poster today! We develop a novel statistical approach that leverages admixed genomes and find that causal variant effect sizes differ between populations. Monday Oct 18, 5:30-6:30pm EDT, PrgmNr 3719, with co-authors @RoshniAPatel@tassimes @sbmontgom @jkpritch
Very excited and honored to give a plenary talk at #ASHG2021 tomorrow on my work with @jnovembre titled “Investigating relative contributions to complex trait architecture from sequence elements originating across multiple evolutionary timescales” @ 1.40-2.00pm ET
🧬 #BIGxWeek Trivia Question 2 🧬
