Our new paper is out! Congrats to the whole team, especially the staff and students @bournemouthuni who have been excavating this incredible site for 15 years (with much more left to uncover!)

Identifying the causal genes driving GWAS signals remains a challenge🧬
New study compares methods to detect causal genes by integrating eQTLs
👉evidence from both colocalization & Mendelian randomization maximizes precision at a cost of low recall🎯

@pedrobeltrao showing how protein-protein networks linked with GWAS results can help finding similarities between traits even if GWAS signals are different

Many congratulations to Prof @brad_dan from @tcdgenmicro on being elected a @royalsociety Fellow. Dan's pioneering work with ancient DNA has helped to bring stories of early human and animal evolution to life.

Excited to share this preprint with @DocEdge85! We wanted to ask what you can learn how genetics explains between-group differences if you know how much genetics explains within-group differences. Turns out the answer is almost nothing! 1/

"Celebrate your curiosity," said @DrOzlemmTureci as she received her honorary doctorate yesterday. Prof Türeci's work on a leading Covid-19 vaccine has translated science into medical application and changed the lives of millions of people around the world
After years of work, I am thrilled to annouced that our paper 'Demographic history and genetic structure in pre-Hispanic Central Mexico' is finally out. 🥳🤩🙌🏽

The complete human genome, this time for real ;) Some exciting papers today in @Nature on the first human reference *pan*genome and how it helps to analyze complex genomic regions.

The age of IBD in ancient DNA is nigh! https://t.co/dGvvJEMDnc
In this preprint, we describe "ancIBD", a method to detect long shared haplotypes (known as IBD segments) in human ancient DNA data, and showcase applications. 🧬💀 (1/5)
#statisticalgenetics Twitter we need your help to support open science! We can't afford releasing scientific data😟
In 2020 we (Alkes Price and me) publicly released UK Biobank LD matrices (3TB of data). In recent months the costs for user downloads approached $100K...

Looking for an easily accessible diverse set of genomes? We've got you! The HGDP+1kGP genomes have been jointly called and QC'd as part of gnomAD, complete with SNVs, indels, and SVs: https://t.co/1UmHWz1WtB. Fully public resource, tutorials included, feedback welcome!
Excited to visit Australia again and talk about how we're using human genetics and genomics to prioritise therapeutic targets at the International Congress of Genetics in July 2023. Would be lovely to reconnect in person with old Aussie colleagues and collaborators!
