New study in #GENETICS from @anaignatieva.bsky.social and @linoafferreira.bsky.social shows how ancestral recombination graphs can help detect "phantom" genetic interaction signals that arise due to genealogy and not because of epistasis. buff.ly/TQARoDp

Our paper about how ancestral recombination graphs can be used to detect "phantom" genetic interaction signals (that arise due to the genealogy, rather than "real" epistasis) is out in Genetics! Nice thread here by @linoafferreira.bsky.social academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...

Delighted to see this paper with @anaignatieva.bsky.social now published in Genetics! academic.oup.com/genetics/adv... We tackle a thorny issue arising in statistical tests for genetic interactions (epistasis) using ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs)... 🧵

Excited to have this out there! Comments are very welcome.

📣 Two ERC-funded positions are available in the lab! If you are interested in exploring the mechanisms underlying mutation, we’d love to hear from you. PhD: shorturl.at/Oc04N Postdoc: shorturl.at/1ShHB RPs and shares would be greatly appreciated! 🧪🧬🖥️ #ScienceJobs #PostdocJobs

The Hinch lab is looking for an enthusiastic statistician, mathematician or physicist to join us as a post doc! If you'd like to use big data to decode the inner workings of our cells, apply now: germlinegenomics.web.ox.ac.uk Please re-post and thanks! #PhDjobs #Postdocs #STEM #meiosis #genomics

My PhD programme, the 'DPhil in Genomic Medicine and Statistics' at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics in Oxford, is accepting applications for next year! I'm coming to the end of my studies after four years and feel so fortunate to have been part of it. Students get...

First post on this celestial platform to mark a happy occasion: I've submitted my PhD thesis! I've celebrated and rested well and am now back to working on research after all the writing... Excited for what's to come!
