Great to get together with the original genetics of complex traits team @exeter.ac.uk for the 30th birthday celebration of the genetics lab. We haven’t changed a bit! @rmfreathy.bsky.social @timfrayling.bsky.social @drarwood.bsky.social @mnweedon.bsky.social Hana Lange Allen & John Perry

In the latest update to the 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki (i.e., not REGN) won the bidding war. www.wsj.com/tech/biotech...

Enjoyed contributing to the Broad's Medical and Population Genetics seminar series today and hearing some great talks. Thanks @joelhirschhorn.bsky.social for inviting me to speak.

Really excited to share our next population-scale WGS work preprint. Here, we analyse three anthropometric traits in nearly 700,000 individuals (discovery UKB ~450K, replication AoU). We show, for these traits, that common and rare variant heritability is convergent www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to finally share that our paper looking at the effect of rare non-coding variants using WGS on circulating protein levels in the UKB has been released in Nature Genetics @naturegenet.bsky.social! We now analyse the full 3,000 circulating proteins in all 50,000 individuals rdcu.be/ea16i

Excited to see our paper on medRxiv "Streamlining Large-Scale Genomic Data Management: Insights from the UK Biobank Whole-Genome Sequencing Data". Paper here: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1.... Tools here: github.com/drarwood/vcf....
