We are hiring! Looking for two postdocs. Topics: a) ancestry informed polygenic scores for mixed ancestry individuals and b) integrating polygenic risk models with clinically actionable rare variants for comprehensive disease risk assessment.

"While much of Europe is obsessing over this year’s European Football Championships, many Estonians — whose team didn’t qualify — are absorbed in their own genomes."

And they have pretty awesome genomes, I must say!

Happy to see that our paper on archaic admixture and its phenotypic impact in Papua New Guinean populations is out now in @PNASNews! Thanks to all co-authors for this fun collaboration @genomicstartu https://t.co/2qxm5yB1sy

@JJalgratas @MilaniLili 3/3 Seega ei ole siin ka küsimust et millal sarnasus sakslastega tekkis. Nende konkreetsete sakslastega siin võrdluses on ka see probleem, et neid on seal maru vähe - seetõttu on ka jautus lai. St roosa jutt ulatub vaat et nullist pea 90%ni.

@JJalgratas @MilaniLili 2/3 Need roosad alad näitavad valitud võrdlusrahvuse esidajate sarnasust sellele samale referentspopulatsioonile. Punkt on mediaan ja roosa jutt näitab jaotust. Seega, me ei näita siin sinu arnasust nt sakslastele, vaid sakslaste sarnasust "Ida Euroopale".

[Mait Metspalu @maitbb]

@JJalgratas @MilaniLili Tänud huvi tundmast. Võrdlus käib vastu referentspopulatsioone. Üldise sarnasuse järgi siis "Ida Euroopa"; "Soome" jne. Sinine jutt näitab kui sarnane sina oled sellele võrdluspopulatsioonile. Näiteks siis Ida Euroopale 70% kui ütled et "keskmine eestlane".

Excited to share our latest preprint about Italian Iron Age.

Our main findings in brief:
🌊Adriatic Sea was as corridor, Apennines a barrier.
🌍People moved from different regions, in a "cosmopolitan society.

Congrats to @FraRavasini as first author! 🎉

French President Macron: Russia's war in Ukraine is existential for all of Europe. We simply must not let Russia win.

@ShaiCarmi Thanks for the supergood short overview!

[Shai Carmi @ShaiCarmi]

An interesting preprint from the Estonian biobank.
Across 180k genotyped Estonians, the authors looked at how genetic structure and polygenic scores for education were shaped by migration to Estonia's big cities.

Our review on deep generative models for genomics with @florajay_ is now published in @AnnualReviews. We tried to write a smooth entry into these new approaches while covering as many important aspects as possible. Hope you enjoy the read.
