The scientifc method works when applied to elite athletes as well. Cool and fun project to work with great collaborators. Top-10 all-time 100m in Sweden. Only beated by WC competitor. More to come 😅

Silver-medal & huge PB in the 100m by @SimonPlesse at the Swedish National Championships last weekend. The Championship day shows if we have managed to peak him physically, internalize the race-model and confidently execute it under pressure others. Very happy and proud!

Historic medal for Upsala IF friidrott in the national track & field club championships yesterday! Great that our contributions made a difference & nice to see them on the front page when picking up todays paper :)

[Örjan Carlborg @CarlborgOrjan]

Track and field relays are so much fun, that is why the nationals are such a blast every year! Really enjoyed coaching our fantastic 4x400 team to a silver medal and new club record. Proud of the performance, but even more the great team spirit!

Great and inspiring visit for me and athletes in Loughborough last week - huge thanks to greatest host @hurdlesub13 and welcoming athletes @alexhw_400 @charliedobson99 and others

Last working day today! Next up vacation before going full-time as self-employed Freelance educator and coach on July 1 @CarlborgOrjan https://t.co/Ae2Hyox0Ak Looking forward to many fun “gigs” in the future - let me know if you need some help, I am all ears!

[Örjan Carlborg @OrjanGenetiker]

From July 1, I will transition to work as a self-employed freelancer & stop monitoring this account in favour of @CarlborgOrjan. My new homepage is https://t.co/Ae2Hyox0Ak - interesting times ahead!

Working on a grant at 2am and then I see this :) Interesting thread and lots of interesting proposed solutions in responses...

@WiringTheBrain @3rdreviewer Regardless of whether detection is based on additive or non-additive variance in a population-level study, loci might be involved in functional interactions. Non-additive variance suggests the loci to be influenced by “something”, but this could be GxG, GxE, LD etc = be cautious.

[Örjan Carlborg @OrjanGenetiker]

@WiringTheBrain @3rdreviewer Concluding that there are biological/functional interactions from the presence of non-additive statistical variance is as questionable as concluding there are no biological/functional interactions from a lack of it. The models used, and data collected, were not designed for this.

@DJ_de_Koning @hoffsbeefs @mrtnj Many more things in progress that we hope to report soon!

[Örjan Carlborg @OrjanGenetiker]

@hoffsbeefs @mrtnj In this paper, all the samples collected over the years have been sequenced and jointly used for an association analysis to map even minor-effect loci with good power!

The project where we "did it all": sequenced the genomes of every available individual (>3,300) from 18 generations. Result? Increased power facilitating mapping of 40 loci for the single analysed trait at 10% FDR (12 reached a 5% genome-wide threshold). @yanjunzan @Troe2710
