@EgilFerkingstad @ksuhre @decodegenetics @patsule @bvhalldorsson @asmundurhreinn @sigrunlund @hilmaholm Amazing new genetics resource. Kudos for making summary statistics available in a straightforward manner.

I'm very excited for #ASHG21 kick off! Here is a roundup of @AstraZeneca Centre for Genomics Research (CGR) representation. Today we are presenting no less than seven posters from our Analytics and Data Science teams, followed by two oral presentations tomorrow. 1/13

Some people have strong disease risk factors but stay healthy. How?! Centre for Genomics Research
@AstraZeneca need a #Postdoc to investigate this mystery using 500k @uk_biobank WES+WGS. ⁩Plz RT! https://t.co/koL03RiceN #ScienceJobs #AcademicChatter #pharmajobs #academicjobs

Our latest publication in @naturecomms presents two novel scores that use deep learning to identify elements in the human non-coding genome with greatest relevance to human disease, providing new avenues for exploring large scale genome sequencing studies. https://t.co/iHxYnI6g7H

I am thrilled to see our preprint out in @biorxivpreprint today! @AstraZeneca Centre for Genomics Research have done a huge phenome-wide association study using ~200k exomes from @uk_biobank. What did we find? https://t.co/315Az5xw1P

You may want to mute this account for a while because I feel I may have to individually insult every member of the outgoing administration in crude and personal ways

@markowetzlab That was fast. https://t.co/9wgrc6aM8s

@markowetzlab I used to cyber before I cyber but nowadays I cyber first (Protip!).

[Casey Brown @casey6r0wn]

.@bvoight28 and I are recruiting a postdoc to work at the intersection of circadian biology, regulatory genomics, and human genetics, with future therapeutic implications. DM us if interested.

RT if you want people to know about things that are good.

[Daniel Freitag @FriTagDan]

Exciting new position in my team on the intersection of human genetics, digital technologies and drug development. Work with enthusiastic & brilliant scientists like @floriansohler @creatules @alexanderhilli7 https://t.co/uV8M00lZwp

[Benjamin Georgi @benjamin_georgi]

@markowetzlab @paulpharoah This seems backwards to me. Given that the first author generally did most of the work, are you genuinely proposing that it would be preferable if the credit (name recognition) went to the last author instead?

[Benjamin Georgi @benjamin_georgi]

Very cool study. Combination of deep learning on MRI and human genetics to pinpoint novel risk factors for aneurysms. @uk_biobank is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

@lisanwang @RachelKember Wow, congratulations!

[Declan O'Regan @DrDeclanORegan]

We're recruiting two 3-year post-docs in machine learning - image analysis and outcome prediction. Come and join our growing team in the Computational Cardiac Imaging group @MRC_LMS @BioMedIAICL https://t.co/rDHReE5kcf https://t.co/hJL0ZlP6Di

@Eric_Fauman @BrentRichards19 This is impressive. What is your favourite database for doing this kind of mapping and have you tried to automate it?
