Last autumn FinnGen hit its target of sampling close to 10% of the Finnish population with more than 500,000 participants. We are happy to announce that the results based on the full cohort are now publicly available for the whole research community: finngen.fi/en/results-bas…

Excited to be presenting at my first #ASHG conference! Hop to session 11-“All the single cells” and learn about the interplay between genetic variants and cellular and molecular aging phenotypes! #ASHG2024

New work from the team! Can we emulate trials within a biobank? And how can we use genetics to ensure the trial is well-emulated? Integrating genetics in trial emulations improves their design and informs the value of polygenic scores for prognostic and predictive enrichment

For no reason in particular, I would like to remind everyone that we have a Functional Genomics faculty position opening at the Donnelly Centre at the University of Toronto (in Canada 🇨🇦) 👀 #ASHG24 jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-As…

Today, we mourn the loss of Thomas Lehner, PhD, MPH (1960-2024), a pioneering figure in neuropsychiatric genetics and an inspiration to Columbia Psychiatry. Dr. Lehner was known for his warmth, humility, and dedication to diversity in research, leaving an irreplaceable void in

FinnGen continues to be one of the best genetic datasets in the world with some of the best phenotype data, and now they've reached their goal of 500k (same size as UK BioBank)! Truly, the gift that keeps on giving

I took a huge pay cut NY -> Stockholm, but my living expenses also dropped by half - and it would have been more if we had kids. Many places in the UK have the unfortunate combo of ⬇️salaries and ⬆️ expenses, but many EU countries are totally competitive with the US academia.

🚨🚨🚨 Thrilled to share our newest study — identifying functional long noncoding RNAs using transcriptome-scale RNA-targeting CRISPR screens. 🔎🔎🔎 We hope this scalable approach will be helpful for folks who want to connect noncoding RNAs to phenotypes & diseases.

For many traits there is a correlation between the number of duplications or loss-of-function (LoF) mutations someone carries, and their phenotype. Curiously, for most traits, these effects are aligned in the SAME direction. Why?

I am so proud of this new lab preprint: Take a look and discover how immune aging differs between males and females!

Honored to be part of this year’s Data-Driven Life Science #DDLS annual meeting, such a great opportunity to connect with fellow DDLS leaders and explore their fantastic work. Grateful to be part of this talented community. Thanks to KAW and SciLifeLab for organizing!

Single molecule biology 💕 NGS! Today we had the pleasure to host the brilliant Sebastian Deindl where he walked us trough their clever adaptation of #miseq sequencing to combine single-molecule fluorescence microscopy with sequencing to profile dynamics of single molecules.

Excited to launch the Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich Imputation Server, enabling genotype imputation within the EU and beyond. Lots of plans for future development, reference panels and functionality enhancement rdcu.be/d0h3y

A new initiative from NGI Sweden! OpenLab is an accessible, equipped lab space for genomics researchers to pursue their assays, filling the gap between a service facility and people's individual research labs. Pilot in Uppsala, with hopes to expand it to other locations.

I know many of you have been awaiting us launching transcript expression data in gnomAD. We were waiting for the GTEx v10 release which is now out so we are finally able to launch this. Enjoy!!

GTEx (GTEx Portal), the most comprehensive multi-tissue #transcriptomics resource out there, has now released a new data version (v10)📢 👉12% more RNA-seq samples in total 👉23% more samples in eQTL analyses 🔗gtexportal.org/home/home/news…

🌟 Exciting news: The Leena Peltonen School of Human Genetics returns in 2025! We're excited to bring PhD students together with an all-star list of leaders in human genetics. 📅 July 27-31, 2025 📍 Wellcome Genome Campus, UK 📝 Apply by March 7 at lpshg.com

One month until the CSHL Biology of Genomes abstract deadline! My all-time fav meeting, and one of the few covering genomics broadly. We have a ✨🤩 lineup of speakers, but it's the abstract talks & posters that make the meeting - send us your best work! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…
