The UK Biobank genetic data paper is published today in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… UK Biobank @nature Clare Bycroft

Our work on the genetics of brain imaging also published in Nature today nature.com/articles/s4158… Big thanks to all involved : Lloyd Elliott (sfu.ca/~lloyde/) Kevin @NeuroFidelity Sinan Shi Gwen Douaud Karla Loreen Miller 🇺🇦 Steve Smith UK Biobank

Pier Palamara's research group at Oxford Statistics and Centre for Human Genetics is recruiting two ERC/NIH-funded postdoctoral research associates. Statistics and machine learning for large-scale genomic data, population genetics, complex traits. Details and contacts: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

This is one you can share with your budding scientists! Hope to see a surge in population geneticists in a few years... Great pleasure to write this with Clare Bycroft and huge thanks to Megan Myers (and Simon Myers) and our young reviewers! kids.frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Very interesting new method describing genealogy-based association that detects more rare and ultra-rare signals than imputation.

On behalf of Zilong Li , Anders Albrechtsen and myself, I’m pleased to announce the release of QUILT2, a method for lc-WGS imputation using biobank scale reference panels that works on diverse sequencing input data including NIPT data. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy New Year! Our Twigstats paper is now out! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to see my project at University of Oxford finally published at Nature Genetics ! Huge thanks to my co-authors Simon Myers Daniel Lawson Jonathan Marchini Garrett Hellenthal Lino Ferreira Sinan Shi , and the reviewers/editors. Read the publication here: nature.com/articles/s4158… 🚀🎉

Come along and hack the clinical data! x.com/drstevok/statu…

Oxford BIG Browser v2 released big.stats.ox.ac.uk with 5,694 GWAS. We've added the Neale group GWAS results + others, and now report effect sizes for SNPs Oxford Statistics @FMRIB UK Biobank @bmneale

The DNA of people in Spain today tell the story of a turbulent mediaeval past. We find extensive fine-scale population structure in Spain, and clear effects of historical migration from North Africa. Galicia has its own surprises too. x.com/biorxivpreprin…
