Discovery and analysis of human genetic variation

[Juan Rodriguez-Flores @juansearch]

In a study led by my colleague Dr Rostami at Weill Cornell, we demonstrated the impact of genomics in critical ICU care. Nine out of ten ICU patients have genetic mutations that can affect the metabolism of medicines commonly prescribed in the ICU. https://t.co/75ZZt7yCo9

Discover our latest research in @NatureComms on the genetic factors of stroke in South Asians. To expand our limited knowledge of this population, we conducted the largest exome-wide association study (ExWAS) of stroke to date in a discovery cohort of 31K Pakistanis.

@doctorveera Thank you, Veera!

Published in @NatureComms this week our discovery of a genetic variant in NOTCH3 associated with a 3x increased risk of stroke and excess brain white matter loss. https://t.co/dsRVLTTBLR

@SpaceXStarlink I set up a Starlink on my home roof in Puerto Rico just before Hurricane Fiona. It not only survived the winds, but also provided internet service through the storm. There was ~1 hour when service was down due to excess clouds, otherwise worked great.

Thank you @AllofUsResearch for a new perspective on my roots. Looking forward to higher resolution of my MENA ancestry

@JetBlue 8 hours at the airport, am I going to get home today?

[Juan Rodriguez-Flores @juansearch]

@JetBlue what is this stuff hanging from the underside of the plane?

[Juan Rodriguez-Flores @juansearch]

@JetBlue I’ve been at the airport for a flight at 945 since 8 AM with wife, mother in law and toddler. Delay to 10, then 11, then 3, now 5. I see 3 guys with drills under the plane. What is going on?

[Juan Rodriguez-Flores @juansearch]

@tuuliel No surprise, you rock!
