Incredibly proud of PhD student @htanudisastro from my team, who just gave a fantastic #ASHG24 talk on the impact of tandem repeat variation on cell type-specific expression. Check out her preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Two #ASHG2024 / #ASHG24 talks tomorrow from the TenK10K collaboration between the Centre for Population Genomics and @drjosephpowell’s team, which has now done WGS + blood scRNA-seq on ~1,800 people. Lots of cool biology to discuss!

Really excited to have this out: a cell type-specific map of the impact of an understudied class of genetic variation (tandem repeats) on gene expression, at serious scale: nearly 1800 people with both WGS and blood scRNA-seq. So much signal!

📢 New preprint alert: We’ve just published a deep dive into the role of tandem repeats (#TRs) in single-cell gene expression across the immune system, using #WGS and #scRNA-seq data from 1,790 individuals and over 5 million blood cells! 🧬 🧵👇 #repeats #SingleCell 1/9

Have a rare disease GWAS and want to increase your number of significant loci by 500%*? Then check out this great new method from @chr1swallace and Andy Bass *500% not guaranteed, but it's what they get in a real data example in the paper....

We are looking for a postdoc bioinformatician to work on cutting edge spatial omics analysis and methods development. This is a joint role with my lab in Bioinformatics and Advanced Technology at WEHI. There will be really cool spatial data to play with! wehi.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WEHI/det…

I'm incredibly excited to announce that I've been awarded a @Gates_Cambridge scholarship to do a PhD at the @MRC_BSU at @Cambridge_Uni with @chr1swallace, looking at improving methods for genetic colocalization analysis.

@_julien_roux @davisjmcc The authors attribute the difference to the different formulas used for computing fold changes.

Thanks for highlighting this part of our paper @slavov_n! Hopefully greater awareness of these issues will lead to more consistency in the future.

Multiple testing exercise: spot the non-nulls! This plot shows 100 z-statistics in 10 independent groups (vertical stripes). Each true parameter βj is estimated with N(0,1) error, and estimates in the same group have correlation 0.8 Five βj values are nonzero. Can you see them?
