Geno Guera presenting Coal-Phyre for inferring divergence times and pop size. Plus AdCov a stat for estimating #admixture using covariance in #coalescent times. Another case of "sounds easy, hard to implement!" #SMBE2019

Looking for a pdf version of “Human Diversity” by L. L. Cavalli-Sforza (1969). Seems difficult to find online, any help is appreciated!

It’s taken millions of years for #monarchbutterflies to evolve, but the journey of our paper (nature.com/articles/s4158…) has been a once in a lifetime one! Led by @k_annairam Simon Cornelis Groen Julianne Pelaez et al. See Carl Zimmer story here: nytimes.com/2019/10/02/sci… 💉🔬(dna)🥚🐛🦋❤️

New preprint out of UCSF by @Linda_Kachuri and my supervisor Steve Francis on the genetic components of immune response to various viral infections, including SARS-CoV2 using UKBiobank data.

New work in Genome Medicine by Witte Lab post-doc @Linda_Kachuri in collaboration with UCSF Neurosurgery faculty Stephen Francis, identifies novel host genetic factors involved in immune response to common viruses.

#ASHG21: Excited to share our work on #cancer #genetics of multiple primary tumors in two large cohorts tomorrow (10/19) at 11:45am EDT! #PrgmNr1015 Big thanks to our collaborators at Kaiser Permanente Research NorCal and Regeneron Genetics Center. @johnwitte Witte Lab UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr bit.ly/3G8JGGH

Online today! My work with Rasmus Nielsen where we derive the covariance between pairs of coalescence times in a multi species model, with accompanying software, and use it to study properties of Slaktin's Fst.

How do viruses influence the risk for cancer? A new UC San Francisco study out today from the Francis lab found that DNA variants in the genes controlling the immune response may influence #glioma risk Geno Guerra UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr UCSF Epidemiology & Biostatistics braintumorcenter.ucsf.edu/news/genes-con…

Thanks to Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium for the 2021 US Junior Investigator Award and to American Brain Tumor Association for supporting my travel to the #BTEC 2022 meeting in Lyon, France. Congrats to this year's winners Victor Lu #jonfossskiftesvik. Excellent presentations from both. UCSF Neurosurgery

Published in Nature Communications, John Wiencke, PhD, and colleagues used a #bioinformatic approach to develop a blood-based neutrophil dexamethasone methylation index, which also serves as a prognostic marker of #glioma survival @AnnetteMolinar2 UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr nature.com/articles/s4146…

In this month's #NeuroOncology, the Francis lab and colleagues find that high levels of varicella-zoster virus antibodies are associated with improved survival in glioma patients: academic.oup.com/neuro-oncology… #glioma #VZV #EBV Stephen Francis - Francis Lab Geno Guerra @AnnetteMolinar2 UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr

Double duty this past weekend at #SNO2023 in Vancouver! I presented a poster of our continuing work on VZV and glioma, and gave an oral presentation on longitudinal immune profiles of patients with lower grade glioma. UCSF Neurosurgery Stephen Francis - Francis Lab

New in JNCI: The Francis lab & their colleagues show that elevated serum IgE levels are associated with a lower risk of glioma as well as improved survival, especially in female patients: doi.org/10.1093/jnci/d… Stephen Francis - Francis Lab Geno Guerra @AnnetteMolinar2 UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr
