Our genomic research of Taiwanese Austronesians is now out in @PNASNexus! We study and leverage the diversity in Taiwan to understand better the genetic profiles of early (pre-) Austronesians, who moved into and out of Taiwan.

Our paper on clinically relevant genetic variation in the MX Biobank is out today in @NatureMedicine! Big congrats to @BarjonCar, who led the development of the MexVar platform. A joint effort by @cinvestav @inspmx @incmnszmx @LIIGH_UNAM and @ucsc https://t.co/yBkIV83D9j

In our lastest paper in close collab with Wibhu/Dan/Mark, we have traced the genetic origin of modern Austroasiatic speakers of MSEA to ancient ones, and identified key genetic diversifications among populations associated to various AA language branches!

Some new exciting metabolomic work from @NgaleHealth using UK Biobank data 🔽

Metabolomic data for the full UK Biobank cohort will be made available to all researchers as part of our upcoming data release next month.

Happy to share that our work from the @nmancuso_ lab is out in @NatureGenet! We developed SuShiE, a multiancestry fine-mapping method for molecular traits. https://t.co/8gySuJkDEw

Our new paper is out in @ScienceMagazine! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.

[Marta @MartaMLahr @MartMLahr]

Why Polynesians’ high risk of metabolic disease? @Dang_Liu tests thrifty genotype vs population adaptive patterns (incl % Austronesian & Papuan ancestries), demographics (strong bottleneck in Eastern Polynesians!). Results: both!! BMI thrifty, HDL & others under drift & more!! 🤩

[Dang Liu @Dang_Liu]

@MartMLahr Thanks for the summary Marta! 😊
