Open TT faculty position at the department of medicine at the University of Chicago! Come join us in Genetic Medicine, Biomedical data science, Oncology, or any of the other sections. Apply here: https://t.co/tHBAwUIuyY

[Jacob F Degner @JacobFDegner]

There is a position on my new team that just opened! We are looking for a creative and talented data scientist or statistical geneticist to help us use human genetics to drive value in drug development.

Glad to see our paper, with @xinhe2 @mstephens999 @wescrouse Sheng and Kevin, is out today at @NatureGenet! https://t.co/hMfTQYsGuK. We developed a new statistical method, causal-TWAS or cTWAS, to reliably identify causal genes in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). 1/n

Introducing guided sparse factor analysis (GSFA), a statistical framework to detect changes in gene expression resulting from perturbations in single-cell CRISPR screening. @xinhe2 @MengjieChen6

@lenghan_bioinfo @IndianaUniv @IUCancerCenter Congratulations!

[Xin He @xinhe2]

@mikelove @mstephens999 Agree! The comparison with GWAS makes good sense.

[Xin He @xinhe2]

@mikelove @mstephens999 Good point. Thanks Michael! Maybe it's better to say something like, "most genes have one or few independent cis-eQTLs, in a typical eQTL study".

@hakyim Somehow I missed your message - I only check twitter infrequently. But thanks for sharing! I wish I had seen it earlier.

[Xin He @xinhe2]

@DevoEvoMed @ylenia_chiari @PhyloTox @NSF Cool project! Congratulation!

[Brandon Pierce @BrandonL_Pierce]

My department @UChicagoPHS now has a twitter account. If interested follow us and RT 👇

[Xin He @xinhe2]

The work involved the collaborator @MengjieChen6, and many lab members, including @SimingZhao06.

[Xin He @xinhe2]

We have a very successful collaboration with the lab of Jubao Duan, @jubao9812! We showed that variants disrupting chromatin accessibility in iPSC-derived neurons are highly enriched with risk variants of psychiatric disorders. See: https://t.co/ZU4N2OiUw5
