Great opportunity for early stage researchers ready for independence!

Useful cheat-sheet for general genomics quantitative properties:

[Jonathan Pritchard @jkpritch]

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)

[PGS Catalog @PGSCatalog]

📣NEW TOOL! Wish there was a tool that made calculating existing #PolygenicScores and #PolygenicRiskScores in new datasets easier? We @PGSCatalog have made just that!

🎉Final version of our dosage sensitivity study out today @CellCellPress!
https://t.co/2ST1FztGcl

Explored CNV associations across 54 phenotypes in ~1M genomes

Since @medrxivpreprint in 2021: added 200k samples & 22 phenotypes thanks to @GeneDx @ESTbiobank @vumcdbmi

Our paper on rare variant associations in the UK Biobank is out in Cell Genomics today! https://t.co/XmVHJyIyl7

[Kaitlin Samocha @ksamocha]

Lovely weather in Vienna for some science! #ESHG2022

Two notes:
-I’m hiring! Please say hello if you’d like to chat about opportunities :)

-I’ll talk about some hot-off-the-cloud analyses of regional missense constraint on Monday (S22 session)

Great postdoc opportunity with @ksamocha ! Do RT! Do apply!

[Kaitlin Samocha @ksamocha]

I'm hiring postdocs to join my team at @CGM_MGH & Broad! We study patterns of rare variation in large genomic datasets (like gnomAD), and leverage those into insights about genetic risk for disease.

If you are interested, please reach out or apply here:

👇👇👇 most important advice to genomics trainees. To understand your data, and its error modes, find a simple informative plot of a slice of your data (read alignment etc) and plot for 100+ random instances. Use your brain’s pattern recognition. Takes minutes, saves months.

[EMBL-EBI @emblebi]

There are different versions of the human genome annotation but which do you use?

The Matched Annotation from @NCBI and EMBL-EBI (MANE) collaboration is the answer and brings new meaning to the phrase: two heads are better than one.
