In Trends in Genetics today, Hilary Martin and I deliver a spotlight (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) on the recent exome-wide association study of education and cognitive ability. Our concluding paragraph states: The study by Chen et al. provides a compelling rebuke to those who have

Alex Strudwick Young Trends in Genetics Hilary Martin Thank you Alex Strudwick Young and Hilary Martin for this outstanding Trends in Genetics feature of our exome study on cognitive function by Chia-Yen Chen & our fabulous collaborators. Your thoughtful, balanced discussion is much appreciated. Absolutely worth a read! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Are protein and RNA correlated? 12 papers and examples 👇 🧵 what do you think?

[Chen et al. 2023 NG; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37231097/] looked for rare coding associations with three phenotypes: Edu, Reaction Time, VNR. They found 5 associations with Edu (+3 others), demonstrating that Edu can be a reasonable and accessible proxy phenotype for rare var studies.

We are thrilled to announce the next exciting chapter of FinnGen! After completing the construction of the research resource of 500,000 Finns, we will now move to the phase of understanding disease mechanisms and disease progression. finngen.fi/en/finnish-gen…

Since 2017, the FinnGen study coordinated by FIMM researchers has developed into one of the world’s leading biobank-based genomic research projects. FinnGen will now move to a new phase, searching for genetic clues to disease progression. helsinki.fi/en/news/genes/…

Immensely proud to share our four papers on #SingleCell dissection of #Alzheimers Disease coming out in Cell today, reporting 2.3M #scRNA profiles and 850k #scATAC profiles across 427 post-mortem human brain samples from AD and non-AD donors in a wonderful

I'm delighted to release the first half of my new open-access online textbook in human population genetics: web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…

If you are going to read a half of a brilliant primer on population genetics, that is as entertaining as it is informative, make it the first half of this; I learnt a lot from it ⁦Jonathan Pritchard⁩ web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…
