The second paper of my PhD is finally out! Have you ever wanted to account for time-to-event in a GWAS, but not known if you would actually increase power? Then find out here! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Honestly, all this formatting bullshit that we have to do for papers will make me quit publishing one day.. 😩

The whole room for myself at #WCPG2023 😅

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?

Hi everyone! Abstracts submissions are now open for the UK Biobank Research Symposium that we host in Brisbane (Feb 6-9th). [Link: ausukb2024.org]. Note the deadline for abstract submission is Dec 1st, 2023. Look forward to seeing you there 🙂!

Are the recorded sessions of #WCPG2023 available already? Where can I find them? 🙏 ISPG

"Benchmarking of local genetic correlation estimation methods using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies" -- doi.org/10.1093/bib/bb… Very nice *external* comparison of 3 sumstats methods for inferring local genetic correlations. - ρ-hess, SUPERNOVA and LAVA -

I visited them a few weeks ago; great team!

Has anyone checked the consistency between the imputed dosage (BGEN) data from the UK Biobank vs the new sequencing data?

The UK Biobank (UKB) has been an amazing field changing resource for the past decade. Unfortunately, and very suddenly, they have decided that to work with their data you now *must* use their “Research Analysis Platform” (RAP). UK Biobank I guess there have been general warning

Automatic detection of ancestry groups based on PCA. How useful do you think this is?

This is my farewell post. I am not deleting this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive, and I don’t want my name taken by imposters. But, for as long as Musk owns the platform, I’ll no longer use it. I’m now posting at georgemonbiot.bsky.social. Since Elon Musk bought this
