Excited for #ASHG25 this week! Some of my and my colleagues' recent work is represented by a handful of posters here--check them out! ...

We are pleased to provide two great opportunities to connect with the IGES community during next week's #ASHG25 conference! 👇

I'm hiring a computational biologist interested in complex trait genetics using deep learning approaches. Reach out to me, if interested.

I'm often asked how human genetic data can be used to validate drug targets. In our new ‪@natcardiovascres.nature.com‬ paper, we provide an end-to-end framework for genetically validating IL-6 inhibition for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease outcomes 🧵

It was awesome to see the range of molecular & genetic epidemiology research being done in our department! Thank you @martinafu.bsky.social @danielpanyard.bsky.social and Javier Perez Garcia for making our Flash Talks a success 🤩

"Dark proteins." Also known as microproteins. There are thousands of them in our cells and we're still struggling to define their function. Succinctly reviewed @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

‘Dark proteins’ hiding in our cells could hold clues to cancer and other diseases

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out what they do.

What do GWAS and rare variant burden tests discover, and why? Do these studies find the most IMPORTANT genes? If not, how DO they rank genes? Here we present a surprising result: these studies actually test for SPECIFICITY! A 🧵on what this means... (🧪🧬) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Specificity, length, and luck: How genes are prioritized by rare and common variant association studies

Standard genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and rare variant burden tests are essential tools for identifying trait-relevant genes. Although these methods are conceptually similar, we show by anal...
