Just back home after #BGA2024. Very inspiring + fun days!

[Brittany Mitchell @Britt_Mitchell1]

Really lovely reuniting with our previous @QIMRB_Institute visiting students at #BGA2024! Wonderful to see all the fantastic research they are doing

Pleased to share my first publication as first author! 🎉🧬We create haplotypic transmitted and non-transmitted polygenic scores and replicate indirect genetic effects on education in a large Dutch cohort.

A 🧵 on educational attainment (EA) GWAS and evidence of extensive confounding from multiple recent studies (much more than for disease traits). FWIW: I’m not a behavioral geneticist and I welcome disagreement on this.

Today is #BlueMonday 🔵Though it does not have a scientific base, it does raise awareness about #depression and #loneliness 🧠

Researcher Hanna van Loo and student-researcher Olivier Steen (@umcg) talk about it in this video 👇

Happy holidays! Introducing https://t.co/Ub3wgs1KVz, an AI-powered app that lets you chat with your data in English! RTutor uses Davinci (#ChatGPT’s sibling) to turn requests into R code, which is executed & results are shown instantly, available as a HTML report in seconds. 1/8

Fantastic talk by @cdbustamante about an ambitious initiative to set up one of the world's largest diverse biobank with a focus on Latin American populations with a target sample size of 10 Million(!!). Welcome to the biobank of the Americas! #ASHG22

📣NEW TOOL! Wish there was a tool that made calculating existing #PolygenicScores and #PolygenicRiskScores in new datasets easier? We @PGSCatalog have made just that!

INTRODUCING pgsc_calc: an open-source pipeline to calculate PGS using nextflow https://t.co/ahsG91TiKV

Happy to have presented our pipeline for indirect genetic effects estimation today at #WCPG2022 🧬✨ @AnniqueC @vanloo_hanna

[Perline Demange @PerlineDemange]

Finally out! 🔥
Two years after the first preprint version, our paper on environmental effects of parents’ cognitive and non-cognitive skills on their children’s education has grown a lot📈

Research on positive aspects of neurodivergence is much needed, so happy to see our paper on creativity and (symptoms of) ADHD and ASD is out :)

New educational attainment (EA) GWAS out today: https://t.co/YmgRosompg. We expand the sample size from ~1 million to ~3 million, making it one of the largest GWAS to date. We identify more loci affecting EA and increase our ability to predict EA from genetic data, and more...🧵

My very first publication is out!!! https://t.co/9mehCDRp8Q

A remarkable moment in the history of GWAS!

"... using GWAS data from 5.4 million individuals of diverse ancestries, that 12,111 independent SNPs that are significantly associated with height account for nearly all of the common SNP-based heritability."

[Biyao Wang @biyao_wang]

Exited to see our paper out in @AJHGNews. By meta-analysing evidence from nearly 40k families, we showed robust genetic nurture effects on education cross 12 studies spanning 5 countries: https://t.co/PVZZdRb7HO
Key findings see 👇

Our new review https://t.co/PKkoGTkmkt highlights that the use of genetically informative designs, which explicitly model or control for the effect of genes, is necessary to understand intergenerational transmission; the passing on of traits within families 👩‍👦👩‍👧👨‍👦👨‍👧

Our team of visual designers, researchers, and cardiologists @broadinstitute @IBMResearch created this visual explainer for polygenic scores. It's been a pleasure working on this project with #LiaPetronio @jsdron @amitvkhera @aklfahed @BCKwon !
