All the individuals from the UK Biobank have now been sequenced, right? Does anyone know if there is a plan to replace the BGEN imputed data of 90M variants by a subset of the sequenced data?

This UMAP plot was generated from data simulated without inherent clusters, meaning the observed clusters are artifacts. It highlights how default Seurat clustering and UMAP settings can sometimes produce misleading patterns in data visualization.

Online workshop on GWAS, heritability analysis and prediction on Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd April. Each day runs from 8.30-11AM BST. Attendance is free; find out more details and register at EventBrite (eventbrite.com/e/online-works…)

The New York Times recently had an article on IVF and embryo selection which I think buries a few important ledes about these products ...
