Our paper on the evolution of MUC19 in humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans is finally out today in Science! This has been a six-year effort by 13 authors to weave together 3 separate but related evolutionary stories around this one gene (more on thread 🧵). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

And as promised more posters at #eshg2025 today! Meet Daniela and Davide at P18.116C and P21.001C in the coming session, and Roberta at P21.022D later today!

Are you at #eshg2025 in Milan? Come and check out what we are up to! 3 posters from our group in the coming session: Camilla at P18.011.B, Irene at P18.016B and Ettore at P18.131B!

Our work on the molecular basis of the genetic correlation between BMI and brain morphology has now appeared in PLOS Genetics journals.plos.org/plosgenetics... Thanks to @danifusco.bsky.social, Camilla Marinelli, @mathilde-andre.bsky.social, Lucia Troiani, Martina Noè, and Fabrizio Pizzagalli

Thank you @zkutalik.bsky.social for such nice comments in EJHG 2024 highlights✨ about our work on ancestral genetic components and complex traits across Europe!!! doi.org/10.1038/s414...

"Genomic racism has for decades sought to establish a parasitic relationship with the field of genetics. It is disturbing to see a community that is obsessed with our work for the sole purpose of twisting it into abhorrent propaganda." Word.

Preprint used UK biobank data to show that when testing both common and rare variants, the appropriate genone-wide significance threshold is 5*10^-9.
