Multi-ancestry meta-analysis of asthma identifies novel associations and highlights the value of increased power and diversity dlvr.it/ScRJlh

Excited to share that our paper on asthma with the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative (Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative) is out today in Cell Genomics!

#Postdoc + #PhD positions available in our lab in a new endeavor - funded by the NOMIS Foundation and supported by Treutlein lab, Gray Camp and Svante Pääbo - to unravel the evolutionary impact of de novo genes in primates! Details here: zmbh.uni-heidelberg.de/Kaessmann/open… Please RT!

Our paper on #vembrane is published in Oxford Journals Bioinformatics. #vembrane is a fast and easy to use tool for filtering BCF/VCF files and converting them to tables. Most importantly, it provides a very powerful Python based query language. (1/2)

Very nice to see that the Bioinformatics journal Oxford Academic is now extending Application Notes to 4 pages (academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…). Another great move after recently allowing format-free submissions and becoming a fully OA journal.

I can only echo this - a huge task and @YannPonty and Sushmita Roy @sroyyors.bsky.social,genomic.social have done an incredible job. Thank you to you both, and to all the Area Chairs and reviewers too!
