Addressing biases in precision medicine can bridge the knowledge gap and reduce health disparities. It's time to prioritise inclusive, global approaches in medical genomics!

Pharmacology-affecting genetic differences between Andeans and Amazonians are larger than those seen between Europeans and East-Asians, highlighting a diversity gap in genetics research.

A new chapter of the Peruvian Genome Project is out!
We explored the genetic composition and dynamics of individuals living in urban areas. We analyze genome-wide data from 432 urban individuals across 13 regions of Peru, including 346 newly genotyped! (1/6)

Very happy to share our recent preprint, which presents an extensive analysis of genetic diversity and subcontinental ancestry in the All of Us Research Program.

Although autism shows a striking sex bias—4males:1female—most studies still avoid looking at the sex chromosomes.
In our new paper in @AJHGNews, we conducted the first X-chromosome-wide association study (XWAS) for ASD!

What does it mean to be Latin American? I don't know. The term spans so many cultures and identities that defining a single concept feels impossible. Today, our article on one aspect of Latin American diversity (genetics) was published in Cell Genomics. https://t.co/74SXY6dArx

We all recognize the importance of increasing diversity in genetic studies. But what’s the new insight from our latest paper in @CellCellPress (https://t.co/9tEobO0joG)? Let’s dive into it with this quick thread I did with the help of my friends @ThiagoPeixotoL @victor_snail

Don’t miss our June 14 #ScienceMatters seminar! Dr. Eduardo Tarazona Santos @tarazona_santos of @ufmg will discuss how ancestry of Latin American Indigenous and admixed populations influence health and disease. Register today at: https://t.co/KuEB0rPPc7

Who are these postdocs who have €1900 to pay for a 3-day online EMBO leadership course?

PREPRINT ALERT!
We (the @OcOutlier group and collaborators) are GLAD to share our new preprint on the Genetics of Latin American Diversity (the GLAD Project) available on @biorxivpreprint https://t.co/79Ek6Pbcy3

Have you watched this yet? It's the first taste of what Sandman is going to be like. #Sandman

Our new work using admixture mapping identified a genetic variant of African origin associated with BMI only in women, demonstrating how admixed populations are a source of new relevant phenotype-associated genetic variants. #LDGH @tarazona_santos

I JUST CAME ACROSS THE MOST ADORABLE PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HAD TO MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT HAVE AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!!!

[Victor Borda @victor_snail]

This is the final result of several years of hard work with @MarlaMendesA , @ialvim, Carolina Silva, and @tarazona_santos. In this article we describe how geography and cultural interactions have affected the genetic make-up of Present-day Native Americans https://t.co/bSF4DuUPdx

@flossiebella Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world, they can reach over 100 kg, 1.30 cm in length and 60 cm in height.
They live in semi-aquatic environments, stay in the water most of the day and have webbed feet that allow them to move quickly in the water.
