Excited to share our latest work on the factors that determine what genes we find (and don't find!) in GWAS and burden tests.
We describe a critical concept that we call *specificity*.
Led by Jeff Spence and Hakhamanesh Mostafavi:
Happy to announce our article published in Science Advances on the population history of Himalaya. For the first time, high-quality ancient DNA data have been successfully obtained, marking a significant advance in aDNA research in India. @MaanasaRaghavan
