I'm incredibly excited to announce that I've been awarded a @Gates_Cambridge scholarship to do a PhD at the @MRC_BSU at @Cambridge_Uni with @chr1swallace, looking at improving methods for genetic colocalization analysis.

Incredibly proud of PhD student @htanudisastro from my team, who just gave a fantastic #ASHG24 talk on the impact of tandem repeat variation on cell type-specific expression. Check out her preprint: https://t.co/UTg1r8Nmmo

[Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur]

Two #ASHG2024 / #ASHG24 talks tomorrow from the TenK10K collaboration between the Centre for Population Genomics and @drjosephpowell’s team, which has now done WGS + blood scRNA-seq on ~1,800 people. Lots of cool biology to discuss!

[Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur]

Really excited to have this out: a cell type-specific map of the impact of an understudied class of genetic variation (tandem repeats) on gene expression, at serious scale: nearly 1800 people with both WGS and blood scRNA-seq. So much signal!

[Hope Tanudisastro @htanudisastro]

📢 New preprint alert: We’ve just published a deep dive into the role of tandem repeats (#TRs) in single-cell gene expression across the immune system, using #WGS and #scRNA-seq data from 1,790 individuals and over 5 million blood cells! 🧬

Have a rare disease GWAS and want to increase your number of significant loci by 500%*? Then check out this great new method from @chr1swallace and Andy Bass

*500% not guaranteed, but it's what they get in a real data example in the paper....

Very happy to share the first paper from my PhD on adding variant-specific information to coloc! Do check it out if you are a user of coloc

@lpachter @LambdaMoses Now out in Genome Biology - https://t.co/VlvC69DqRR :)

@ErikVanZwet @robtibshirani Nice paper! It seems like the shrinkage estimator is closely related to the procedure proposed in: https://t.co/tPkAyXhXpS

@astrotemp @Specsavers Wrong prescriptions are the worst! I've even had problems with lens extras messing with my vision.

@camjpatrick Happy birthday!

[Belinda Phipson @BelindaPhipson]

We are looking for a postdoc bioinformatician to work on cutting edge spatial omics analysis and methods development. This is a joint role with my lab in Bioinformatics and Advanced Technology at WEHI. There will be really cool spatial data to play with! https://t.co/cobDWDLcdP

@VukcevicD @davisjmcc @LyleGurrin Thanks Damjan, I couldn't have done it without all your help, and your tireless letter writing!

@camjpatrick Yeah, that’s fair. I think it sounds like a solid package idea though
