Sharing this in case it's useful: I find that students often have a hard time conceptualizing quantitative parameters in genomics and popgen

Here's a cheat-sheet I put together for teaching. It's also part of a textbook I have been writing on human genetics (more on that below)

Gene expression meta-analysis in autoimmune diseases reveals differentially expressed genes participating in anti-inflammatory pathways @MDPIOpenAccess https://t.co/2Vld6LnsgA

Debatable if applicable in many traits/diseases though

PRSs have the potential to enhance disease risk prediction and diagnostic refinement; predict progression and recurrence of disease; deploy precision therapeutics; and improve the efficiency of population-level screening. https://t.co/SuB4UQRMdl

"We show that the third wave of infections in England was driven primarily by the Delta variant in younger, unvaccinated people."

"the highest prevalence of infection ...was among 13 to 24 year olds"

I am so happy to have co-edited with @eevangelou the Meta-Research book: https://t.co/rOOmNvdBjT It covers a wide range of methods in meta-research, including novel methodologies for data synthesis. I cordially thank all authors, who devoted valuable time and effort in this book!

[Ivan D. Florez, MD, MSc, PhD @IvanD_Florez]

Meta-Research book led by @AVeroniki & @eevangelou
is out!
Delighted to have collaborated on this awesome project with @RMorganPhD!

Today we are thrilled to announce the #COVID19 HGI manuscript is published @Nature https://t.co/eNs280nXmq

In this study, we report that the human genome significantly contributes to an individual’s response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Highlights from our recent study published in @accpchest on active and passive smoking and risk for #IPF @VanesaBellou @Lazaros_B

[Healio @GoHealio]

Active and passive #tobaccosmoking around #birth may independently affect the risk for #IPF, according to data published in @accpchest @VanesaBellou @Lazaros_B @EEvangelou https://t.co/hOOG1QrQzF

@KKuchenbaecker Congratulations, very well deserved

[Vangelis Evangelou @eevangelou]

Mahine learning+large-scale clinical data from @uk_biobank-->amazing paper and collaboration @ImperialSPH https://t.co/hSv2QVCpm0

So true!!

[Richard Riley (R²) @Richard_D_Riley]

A few weeks ago we were debating whether researchers should give press releases at the same time as submitting a pre-print; now we’re desperate for even a pre-print at the time of a press release. These are dangerous waters...

[Richard Riley (R²) @Richard_D_Riley]

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to be releasing press releases when submitting a pre-print. Dangerous even. Surely a paper needs to go through peer review first? Once a message is in the media and public domain, it’s very hard to turn back.

Google Scholar has parsed this cafeteria lunch menu as an author list, and it's delightful

[Abbas Dehghan @Abbasdehghan]

The course was full just in a couple of days. We decided to increase the capacity. If you have tried to register and received an "out of stock" message today, please try again now.

[Abbas Dehghan @Abbasdehghan]

Given the current situation, we have decided to change our Mendelian Randomisation workshop to a one-day online course on May 11. Registration is now open. (Re-tweets are appreciated)
