Huge congrats to Josh Backman, Manuel Ferreira, Goncalo Abecasis, Regeneron Genetics Center, and co. on nature 450k exome UK Biobank paper 🎉🎉🎉 Especially exciting to see ALL ancestries analyzed (not just EUR like most other UKB exome papers thus far) nature.com/articles/s4158…

A remarkable milestone in human genetics! Thank you Regeneron Genetics Center!

Goncalo Abecasis Josh Backman Jack Kosmicki Jonathan Marchini Jeffrey G. Reid Aris Baras I broke the rules and checked tweets... no 🍺? Great thread Goncalo Abecasis. For those who can't access the paper in Nature without a subscription, we're trying to fix it asap! Will update soon.

Shoutout to University of Maryland, Baltimore Human Genetics alum Josh Backman ! Exome Sequencing of UK Biobank Participants Highlights Natural Variation, Gene Function genomeweb.com/sequencing/exo…

A #LandMark achievement in the history of human #Genetics ! Scientists from Regeneron Genetics Center have uncovered hundreds of genes that contribute to different traits and diseases👏👏👏! Thanks to all the authors for lighting up our #genome👍👍👍Josh Backman

A lovely perspective article out today in nature News and Views by YukinoriOkada & Qingbo Seiha Wang on Josh Backman's (Regeneron Genetics Center) UKB 450k exome sequencing study. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Regeneron #sumstats now available in the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog, including gene burden tests! Thanks for sharing this valuable dataset Josh Backman Regeneron Genetics Center UK Biobank ebi.ac.uk/gwas/publicati…

Our team is hiring! Are you a statistical geneticist with an interest in rare disease genetics, family-based analyses, and/or working with sequence data from diverse and understudied populations across the globe? Reach out or click below to learn more careers.regeneron.com/l4~wCVo

Our recent genome-wide analysis shows that levels of the ACE2 receptor influence COVID-19 risk. A genetic variant near the ACE2 gene decreases levels of the SARS-CoV-2 gateway receptor by 37% and infection risk by 40%. Read more about our recent discovery in Nature Genetics.

First up — we have a new ‘Gene Burden’ datasource It incorporates the results of the gene burden analyses performed by Regeneron Genetics Center & AstraZeneca Kudos to both teams!

Congratulations to our very own, Joelle Mbatchou, Ph.D., Manager of Statistical Genetics, as she was recognized as one of FierceHealthcare and Fierce Medtech's rising stars in health tech! Join us in giving her a round of applause 👏 and read more about her inspiring work.

Genotyping, sequencing and analysis of 140,000 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to share our paper on genetics of the MCPS. Before you dive in a key point to highlight : from 1998-2004 our Unidad de Investigación en Medicina Experimental & Oxford Population Health (OxPop) colleagues had the vision to conceive the study, and then visit >100,000 houses in Mexico City to recruit 150,000 participants 🤯

I'm hiring! Check out our new opportunity to join the analytical genetics team at the RGC below... careers.regeneron.com/nmlaBZx

With ~1M exomes sequenced, we published the largest set of human protein-coding variation to date today in nature. RGC-ME data contains genetic variation from individuals of African, American, South and East Asian and Middle Eastern ancestry.
