Can leveraging genetically inferred ancestry improve polygenic prediction? We are delighted to have our work published in HGG Advances. Many thanks to @jacquesfellay, @zkutalik, @FlaviaHodel, Zhi Ming Xu, and @PMarquesVidal

[Human Genetics and Genomics Advances @HGGAdvances]

New! @o_naret et al. develop a new approach to improve polygenic risk prediction #OA #PRS

Does competition between genes for cellular resources (like Pol II) contribute to the trans component of gene expression variance and complex trait variance? Check out the thread on this question by @yuvalsim with @o_naret.

[Yuval Simons @yuvalsim]

New paper out!

@o_naret and I ask whether competition for cellular resources may be an important driver of complex trait heritability.

Thread. 🧵

@LionelPousaz Lui as-tu dit que tu as fait tes propres recherches?

What the impact of human genetic variation on HIV infection? Some lessons on how to better understand and fight viruses by scrutinizing the human genome. Happy to present our review with @fakepaulmclaren, just out in @NatureRevGenet

[Olivier Naret @o_naret]

And of course, a huge and warm thank you to the great people who passed through this lab and with whom we lived some epic moments Nimisha Chaturvedi, @asgari_samira,  @christianhammer, @pscepanovic, @esiborghe, @sinarueeger, @meddlaw, @FlaviaHodel, @tjunier, @KPopadin, and Mack

I officially became a doctor this week! It has been an exceptional adventure in @jacquesfellay's lab with a wide range of topics covered, all of which come together in the thesis title "The genetic architecture of complex human traits at the dawn of genomic medicine".

[Olivier Naret @o_naret]

Many thanks to @jkpritch for hosting me in his lab at Stanford and all the extremely inspiring people I met there @yuvalsim @shailamusharoff @RoshniAPatel

Great time at #ESHG2020 presenting our work on 'How accounting for global ancestry using PCs can improve clinical scores'
The virtual conference worked well and hopefully, it will become a standard option in the future for people sensitive about their CO2 footprint (among others)

[Sam Lambert @iamslambert]

Really enjoyed presenting the @PGSCatalog at #ESHG2020 - great questions and session with @o_naret @ninajmars @medina2276 @sritchie73 and Jeroen van Rooij! Thanks to the moderators Vita Dolzan and Matti Pirinen as well!

Check it out on demand if you missed it!

[Christian Hammer @christianhammer]

I'm hiring a #StatisticalGenetics contractor @genentech for 1 year to work on large clinical trial data in #CancerImmunotherapy. Background in #HumanGenetics or #DataScience required, basic knowledge in #Immunology ideal. Please share and/or DM.

Interested in how peer-production methods can improve citizen science? Be part of the change! There is an opening PhD position at @criparis with @gedankenstuecke: https://t.co/5x6suF3lD2 #phdposition #socialscience #citizenscience

@asgari_samira This tower looks much better than Montparnasse

“The fact that [risk scores] offer greater predictive value in individuals of European ancestry than others is perhaps the primary ethical & scientific challenge preventing their clinical implementation,” says Alicia Martin (@genetisaur) in @techreview https://t.co/MNKqU3pfFN

I was flipping through the AJHG from the conference bag last night, and it has a great GWAS review. It states very flatly that WGS won’t add much over array+imputation. Where is the disconnect / different assumption here? #ASHG18

[Olivier Naret @o_naret]

Delighted to be in Frontiers in Genetics! Have you ever wanted to jointly analyze host and pathogen genomes? This will give you some useful directions. https://t.co/fQ5F6eMi9F

[Jacques Fellay @jacquesfellay]

Running combined analyses of host and pathogen genomes? Check out our latest paper by @o_naret, @nimchat12 et al. in @FrontGenetics for useful methodological advice

[Olivier Naret @o_naret]

@DABaranger @mbeisen @crowd_ai @gedankenstuecke @MeMohanty After checking and rechecking everything, I think that the dataset is fine now. I also confirm that if you don't correct at least for sex, the p-value distribution will be very disappointing :).
