🚨 Our parent-of-origin study is out in @Nature ! 🧬
Maternal and paternal alleles can have distinct — even opposite — effects on human traits, revealing a hidden layer of genetic architecture that standard GWAS miss.

Highlights below!
Want to assess causal effect of microbiome on disease outcomes? And Mendelian Randomization is lacking instruments? Let us present you our idea of using long-term antibiotic usage as instrument in the instrumental variable regression!

So happy to say this: our paper looking at the relationships between dietary patterns and blood metabolites is published! https://t.co/ugXbY67RhU
Thank you so much to everybody involved (@NPirastu, @kristafischer16, Hanna-Kristel Valge, @EskoTonu, @MetspaluAndres, Jim Wilson)!
Really happy to finally introduce what we found with 2-sample Mendelian Randomization between dietary traits and blood metabolites!

For more information, check out the preprint! Any questions and comments are welcome!
My appreciation to the whole team for big effort! (@NPirastu , @kristafischer16, Hanna-Kristel Valge, @EskoTonu , @MetspaluAndres and Jim Wilson)
Extremely excited to finally share this work in collaboration with the super brilliant @NeleTaba.
How does diet influence blood metabolite levels? Here we use MR to find it out.
Longer thread to follow and comments appreciated.
