Come and join our dream team! We’re recruiting a PhD candidate with a strong background in statistics, machine learning and (human) genetics to work at the interface of biological sequence foundational models and scores polygenic score methods.

Today we launch The Australian DNA Bridge, a study focused on individuals with mixed ancestries to help us make genetic discoveries that are more accurate, inclusive, and equitable across all populations. Want to learn more? Follow the link. [https://australiandnabridgestudy.org/]

Excited to start our UK Biobank Symposium week! Today we welcome 90 participants for our 1.5-day workshop covering various statistical genetics methods and applications to UK Biobank data. The UK Biobank Symposium starts on Wednesday...stay tuned. More here: ausukb.org

First time on Bsky and first big announcement! I am excited to announce that our new study explaining the missing heritability of many phenotypes using WGS data from ~347,000 UK Biobank participants has just been published in @Nature. Our manuscript is here: www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Estimation and mapping of the missing heritability of human phenotypes - Nature

WGS data were used from 347,630 individuals with European ancestry in the UK Biobank to obtain high-precision estimates of coding and non-coding rare variant heritability for 34 co...
