@abutler @broomish01 @ClarkeMicah@andre_levy 2/2 However, deaths are not a measure of covid positive + dead. No, you count if you're dead + tested positive for covid19 + died of a very specific, very severe form of pneumonia. Very low chance to happen by coincidence.
@abutler @broomish01 @ClarkeMicah@andre_levy 1/2 The death rate is somewhat overstated but not for that reason.
We test more people that are severely ill, so of those a higher percentage dies than of all covid19 positive cases. The real numbers will only come out once this whole thing is over. Probably something around 1.5%
Excited to see my PhD work in @NatureGenet! We show the profile of NRXN1 isoforms in human PFC/hiPSC-neurons & find patient specific CNVs impact splice isoform expression using targeted long read sequencing. Thanks to @kristenbrennand & lab https://t.co/PltxIBzODq
Please check out the Brennand lab's newest work now out @NatureGenet by @nad0s0 et al., on the synergistic effects of common Schizophrenia risk variants!

In a new @NIMHgov-funded study, @IcahnMountSinai researchers explored the role of gene regulators in schizophrenia risk. Using #CRISPR, the researchers mimicked the interaction of risk genes in a disease-in-a-dish model. Result: Synergy! https://t.co/pAaByqk9JA
