⚠️HELP: We are looking for studies examining the interaction between socioeconomic status (SES) and polygenic indices for education/(non)cognitive skills on *educational outcomes* Know any? DM us, and re-post it! 🙏 @asta_b_lund and I are doing a GxSES meta-analysis!

Excited to co-organise this with Ida Moltke Maanasa Raghavan and Johannes Krause. Abstract deadline on Tuesday!

Happy to see that our paper on archaic admixture and its phenotypic impact in Papua New Guinean populations is out now in PNASNews! Thanks to all co-authors for this fun collaboration genomicstartu pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🧬 A new study co-authored by our Davide Bolognini @Raveancic & Nicole Soranzo reveals that human amylase genes, crucial for starch digestion, underwent multiple duplication and deletion events throughout evolution. 📰 Published in @nature humantechnopole.it/en/news/the-ev…

🚨Our latest preprint on ancient Italy is out with a new Republican sample!🚨 Is the Roman Empire ancestry shift towards the Near East really an Imperial thing? ⏲️We show that it probably began from the Republican period 200 years before the Empire. 1/n tinyurl.com/yk4vresz

Another chapter on generating in silico artificial genomes led by Antoine Szatkownik with Flora Jay , Emilia Huerta and many others I couldn’t locate here. This time using diffusion models and with a utility perspective: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our review article on Denisovans, now out in Nature Genetics🥳I am very grateful to Emilia Huerta for making this possible! Check it out 🔎🧬 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Finding relevant papers for literature review takes a lot of time. So, MIT researchers built Undermind, an AI-powered search engine. It can generate well-researched overviews on any topic and is 10-50 times better than Google Scholar. Here's how to use it:

Our new Nature Genetics paper on human segmental duplications (SDs) provides a pangenome perspective of SDs, new potential protein-coding genes, and greater complexity in human variation with implications for disease and evolution. rdcu.be/d5AD9

I wrote about how population stratification in genetic analyses led to a decade of false findings and almost certainly continues to bias emerging results. But we are starting to have statistical tools to sniff it out. A 🧵:
