New preprint! Our workflow for processing single cell and nuclei data, called 🎉 scprocess 🎉 We have been working on it for ~18 months now, over which time we have processed at least 2k samples with it, so it has had a decent amount of testing.

Have you ever wondered 🤔... Does phenotypic variance respond to environmental perturbation? Does it have a genetic basis? Are mean and variance regulating loci exposed to different selection pressures? These and more questions are explored in our new preprint 🔥 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 Proud to share that our paper on the genetic links between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension is now published in @natcomms.nature.com! We dissect the genetic relationship between T2D and hypertension and show it is not driven by a single shared pathway. 🧬 (1/N)

🧬 New preprint alert! After years of collaborative work across 52 datasets we are presenting eQTLGen phase 2: a genome-wide eQTL meta-analysis covering 43,301 blood samples: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... (1/8)

Polygenic scores are useful for early detection, but also early prevention! New paper shows people with high genetic risk of T2D have 3x more risk of developing it by age 35. Early detection could trigger lifestyle changes, metformin prescription... doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Preventing premature deaths through polygenic risk scores - Nature Communications

Via an integrative modelling approach that combines population and clinical trial data, the authors find that polygenic risk score-based screening would reduce premature mortality across seven commonl...

Developing type 2 diabetes young+lean is not as uncommon as it may seem. This phenomenon is more common in people of South Asian and East Asian ancestry, but is observed across populations. Why does this happen, how should we screen and treat young+lean T2D. 👉 Read our paper here: rdcu.be/eH0YR

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

I wrote about how population stratification in genetic analyses led to a decade of false findings and almost certainly continues to bias emerging results. But we are starting to have statistical tools to sniff it out. A 🧵:
