A project many years in the process, we’re pleased to present our work on multi-ancestry meta-analysis across a boatload of traits in the UK Biobank: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@bpasaniuc.bsky.social might win the best title at #CSPrecisionGen25

Honored to give the opening talk at the inaugural Cell Sumposium for precision genomics for human health in San Diego #CSprecision25

📢 Just posted: Our preprint introducing SPC — Spectral Components — is now live on medRxiv! Led by Dr. Ruhollah Shemirani and years in the making, this method offers a robust, scalable way to adjust for recent population structure in genomic analyses. 🔗 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/9

Very enjoyable visit to the Broad Clinical Lab in Burlington yesterday and a tour of their world class sequencing and omics facility 🧬. Really impressive. And some really beautiful art work too… Thanks @heidirehm.bsky.social and Niall Lennon for hosting. #BlueSkyDrive #Broadies

Incredible GRC Genetics and Genomics conference line-up this year in Portland, Maine (www.grc.org/human-geneti...). With conference-maxxing sessions that run to 9:30pm! Submission deadline is June 8th, conference July 6-11th.

Honored to be featured in ASHG’s #WomensHistoryMonth celebration! Huge thanks to @GeneticsSociety & @sarahtishkoff.bsky.social for the recognition. Grateful to stand alongside incredible women shaping human genetics & genomics! 💙 #ASHG #WomenInSTEM www.ashg.org/publications...

📢 Excited to be an invited speaker at the @NovoNordiskFoundation Science Cluster Conference, "Genomic Mechanisms of Disease"! Join me to explore cutting-edge research in med & pop gen, ML models of biology, and translational therapeutics.🔬✨ #Genomics #AIinMedicine #GeneticResearch #Conference

📹🍿🧬 Check out @yunfeng-ruan.bsky.social's recent talk at the @broadinstitute.org, "Polygenic risk scores: method development and application" in our growing collection of videos on the @prsdiversity.bsky.social website primedconsortium.org/education#vi...

Truveta has built a database of 120M de-identified EHRs for digital phenotyping—and now they're teaming up with Regeneron and Illumina to sequence 10M patients across 30 US health systems. 🧬 Major move for precision medicine! www.geekwire.com/2025/seattle...

One month left until the CSHL Biology of Genomes abstract deadline! 👇👇👇 Where else can you dive into all things genomics? 🧬✨

🚨 Calling human geneticists! 🚨 Featured Symposium & Interactive Workshop submissions for #ASHG2025 are OPEN! 🧬✨ Got cutting-edge research or ideas to share? Now’s the time to showcase them on a global stage. Spread the word & submit! 🌍📝 🔗 www.ashg.org/meetings/202... 1/ #HumanGenomics #ASHG25

Thrilled to be a part of the Leena Peltonen School of Human Genomics this year -- an opportunity for PhD students to learn and interact 1:1 with many experts (and genuinely nice people) in the field! Apply by March 7th at: lpshg.org Program runs July 27-31 at the Wellcome Genome Campus, UK.

🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨 Led by Dr. Amy Kontorovich and Dr. Noura Abul-husn, our latest study in Genetics in Medicine explores “red flag” clinical features for hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) associated with the TTR p.(Val142Ile) variant. 🫀🧬 1/

Labbies night out before we all go our different ways for the holidays!! 🎄#NYC

Excited to be co-chairing the GRS with the awesome @jsdron.bsky.social!! @eimearekenny.bsky.social and Shamil Sunyaev will be cochairing the GRC! #GRC2025 #Genetics

Applications are now OPEN for the 2025 Human Genetics and Genomics GRC and GRS!! 🎉 🧬 📅 GRS: July 5-6, 2025 📅 GRC: July 6-11, 2025 📍 Portland, Maine @calliao.bsky.social and I are co-chairs for the GRS, with Shamil Sunyaev and @eimearekenny.bsky.social as the GRC chairs 👀 Links to apply below 👇

Just posting this to #popgen Here's a link to my notes on population & quantitative genetics: github.com/cooplab/popg... Hoping to extend it more after the winter holidays, as I'm just finishing up teaching the undergrad version of class.

Delighted to share that our paper on discovering selective sweeps with haplotype statistics in aDNA is now out in Nat. Comm! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Wonderful collaboration with Vagheesh Narasimhan, Devansh Pandey, and @mharris.bsky.social

Admixture mapping (AM) or genome-wide association studies(GWAS)? Please, I'll have both, and so should you! Read our last preprint, led by @sineadyc.bsky.social, to learn why (or read the TL;DR version by @eimearekenny.bsky.social below). #SinaiGenHealth #HealthEquity #FutureHealth #Genomics

Thrilled to share our perspective on recruitment and retention strategies to engage a diverse pediatric populations in genomics research in #AJHG today. This work highlights the importance of inclusive practices in genomic studies. 🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 A new study led by Sinead Cullina (@sineadyc.bsky.social) @ #SinaiGenHealth dives deep into genetic association studies in diverse populations using admixture mapping (AM) & genome-wide association (GWAS). www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... Here's what you need to know 🧵:

Cholesterol crystals have long been recognized to have a role in atherosclerosis. Review charts this course & newer insights in how it triggers innate inflammatory response www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Honored to work with I. Kullo & colleagues in advancing innovations and equity in genomic medicine via polygenic risk scores www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I wrote about Eric Turkheimer's recent book on "the nature-nurture debate", which should be of interest to people thinking not just about the genetics of behavior but complex traits more broadly. A 🧵:

To new beginnings 🥂

Something really is happening here. Sci-twitter was a phenomenon and a loss. The stunning recent growth of Sci-sky shows how much we value this form of connectivity.

Heeelllloooo!!! Still figuring this out 👇
