Excited to be heading to DC for #ASHG2023 this week! I'll be presenting a poster on Friday afternoon (3-5pm), titled "Geography and study design in the biobank era: a population genetics-informed approach to the discovery of rare deleterious variants in human populations."

Looking forward to presenting this poster today from 3-5pm! #ASHG23

I’m looking for a postdoc to work in theoretical population genetics. Come join our awesome community in lovely Chicago. More info here: voices.uchicago.edu/steinrueckenla…

I posted a recommendation on PCI Evolutionary Biology for this great paper: Mariadaria K. Ianni-Ravn, Martin Petr, Fernando Racimo (2023) Exploring the effects of ecological parameters on the spatial structure of genetic tree sequences.

Calling all middle school girls📣! Are you interested in learning cool science? Want to participate in fun experiments🔬? Sign up for our annual EYH Chicago conference on April 6th! Registration is free!!! English: forms.gle/CEQGrHgozNajgo… Spanish: forms.gle/vXFJ7HiCE5nN65…

Come to the Deleterious Mutations session starting at 10:30AM in Maryland A today! A great lineup of talks on this important type of genetic variation! #TAGC24

Thanks for this summary, Charleston Chiang! #TAGC24

Our paper is out in Cell Genomics! Huge thanks to all the collaborators for making it possible! cell.com/cell-genomics/…

New work from the lab! We present a novel method for inferring the geographic locations of shared genetic ancestors and use it to infer the geographic history of human genetic ancestry biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to share our recent paper Niraj Rai @aabiddanda Esha Bandyopadhyay, Ph.D. Constanza de la Fuente @Urbaninski93 Nagarjuna Pasupuleti Hannah Moots 🏺🧬 Renée Suzanne Freilich🎗💔 Tabitha Willis and co-authors not on X. Special thanks to our community partners and participants!

Allele ages provide limited information about the strength of negative selection biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

our second session of the q&a panel series is in a few weeks! this one will focus on the technicalities and tacit rules of applying to phd programs. open to anyone, but focus will be on biology programs. please share widely with your networks of potentially interested folks ✨

Excited to be heading to #ASHG24 today! I’ll be presenting at Wednesday’s poster session (Board 3016W) about our latest work on spatial sampling strategies & deleterious variants - come say hi!

As many of us are at #ASHG24, a reminder that what we do is political, whether intended or not. Eugenics never left and is now on the rise, backed by all branches of the US gov't. It is our responsibility to fight against a movement that uses our work to do real harm to people.

For anyone who has migrated over to the other site - you can find me @ maggiesteiner now!

New preprint is up on biorxiv! Full thread available on bluesky - you can find me @ maggiesteiner.bsky.social

Work with John Novembre on extending FEEMS to represent long-range gene flow on a background migration surface! The software for the method, called FEEMSmix, is readily available at github.com/VivaswatS/feems #popgen #Genetics #evolution

Very excited about this new functionality added to our software for representing genetic structure in a geographic context, and very great working with Vivaswat Shastry! Btw - He's graduating and looking for biotech/data science jobs in industry and would be a great hire
