Can’t wait for the Vilgalys lab to start in January!

We @uga_genetics are hiring a TT assistant professor in Human Genetics to investigate how genetic makeup influences an individual’s risks for diseases or responses to drugs and therapies. All research approaches will be considered. Please RT. ugajobsearch.com/postings/456597

We're excited to be recruiting an NIH funded postdoc to work in the Coop lab at UC Davis. We're specifically interested in candidates who are want to work at the intersection of human genetics, GWAS, and population genetics modeling. Please RT

Have to stay at home this year for a newborn baby. But the Ye lab is well-represented #ASHG25. Check out the posters from our 7 grad students!

Excited to be at #ashg25! I will be presenting my poster on immune evolution today (2005W) and look forward to all the great science! Also, I'm hiring! Please stop by or message if you want to chat about #postdoc opportunities!

TOPMed imputation server question: Does anyone know why there is a requirement for the input sample size to be at least 20? How do I impute a single genome? (Replicating the target genome 20 times leads to removal of all hom SNPs, as they become "monomorphic") Any better alternatives?

Staff scientist position (computational): I am looking for a computational scientist to join my genomics lab at Stanford. They should have an outstanding skillset in ML/statistical methods for genomic applications, postdoc experience and a strong publication record. #sciencejobs

We are thrilled to welcome @taurvil.bsky.social to our department!

It is a major PhD project of Yitang Sun. I am very excited to see this work out. I learned so much about the genetics of circulating fatty acids. This is a solid foundation for more research to come regarding gene-diet interactions for omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Super excited to witness this project coming to fruition! I was part of the initial pilot project that recruited ~60 participants. I can imagine the amount of work to recruit over 500 participants during the COVID years! Super impressed that @abarad.bsky.social and Kimberly got it done!

Grad to share the first paper from grad student, Adanna! (Very happy to share this on Bluesky!)

Congratulations to Yitang Sun, a previous Genetics PhD student in the lab who is now a postdoc at MGH. He received the Excellence in Life Sciences Doctoral Research Award in recognition of his outstanding research at UGA. grad.uga.edu/graduate-sch...

ASU School of Human Evolution & Social Change is hiring an anthropological geneticist! Come join the science party in the desert! bioanth.org/jobs/assista...

Our department is hiring a tenure-track assistant professor in human genetics. This is a great place for research and life. Reach out if you have questions. www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/397...

The Ye lab at #ASHG2023 check out our posters

Join me, Kelly Dyer, and Rich Kliman for an open Q&A about applying to graduate school in Evolutionary Biology! (pls RT)

Just released. A project led by Huifang Xu and Yitang Sun to characterize the shared genetic basis between 6 PUFA traits and 20 brain disorders, and to infer candidate causal relationships. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

👋 Hi genetics/statgen/gen-epi trainees! 🧬 🧪 If you are interested in reviewing please let me know! We (HGG Advances, eLife) are constantly in need of knowledgeable reviewers and would be more than happy to work with you. Please feel free to email me (or other editors) if you're interested!

I'm recruiting grad students! My lab studies the evolution of [genomes, sex chromosomes, sex differences, etc] using [genomics, experiments, theory] Potential projects include studying genetics and evolution of sex differences and phenotypic variation in flies nsmn1.uh.edu/rpmeisel/

I'm delighted to release the first half of my new textbook in human genetics: web.stanford.edu/group/pritch... "An Owner's Guide to the Human Genome: an introduction to human population genetics, variation and disease"

If you're serving on NIH study section in the coming weeks, consider downloading your applications today before the shutdown A new feature on eRA makes this super easy - you can download a zip with all your assigned applications in one click

Excited to share our latest manuscript on gene-environment interactions in the UKBiobank: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
