🚨New preprint from PGC SUI!! @pgcgenetics.bsky.social GWAS meta-analyses of suicidal ideation, attempt, death, and behavior across >50 cohorts identify 77 loci (59 novel), implicate subcortical brain regions, and show suicidality phenotypes are genetically distinct. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

🧠 Why do some brains age faster than others? 🧬 Our new Nature Aging study of over 56,000 participants explores the genetics of the “brain age gap” — the difference between your brain’s biological and chronological age. nature.com/articles/s43587-025-00962-7 Thread below 👇

The field of neuroscience views the goal of human genetics as "finding genes". This is an outdated view. In whole genome studies of rare variants, finding genes is the easy part. The more interesting and important goal is to map out the causal pathway from genes to brain function to cognitive traits

Got prov. approval for 2 major grants in Neuro-AI & Dynamical Systems Reconstruction, on learning & inference in non-stationary environments, out-of-domain generalization, and DS foundation models. To all AI/math/DS enthusiasts: Expect job announcements (PhD/PostDoc) soon! Feel free to get in touch.

I’m excited to share our genetic study on panic disorder in the FinnGen sample. We found a genomewide significant hit within the SORCS3 gene and showed that SORCS3 serum protein levels were 40% higher in panic disorder patients compared to controls medrxiv.org/cgi/content/...

#ctglab is hiring! We have #vacancies! 2 PhD & 2 postdoc positions, in #statistical #genetics and/or #bioinformatics - if you like GWAS, method development and linking with biology - check these out 👇 werkenbij.vu.nl/vacatures/tw... werkenbij.vu.nl/vacatures/po... werkenbij.vu.nl/vacatures/po...

Great to see this paper finally online, and happy we could contribute (a bit) to it! It's a big progress in regard to variant discovery (especially for the other 4 Big 5) but Ted and team also ran a wide range of super interesting follow-up analyses, that showcase the potential of the results. 🥳🧬

We are currently looking for new collaborators with genotyping and autism data in order to increase our sample size for our next large-scale genome-wide meta-analyses of autism. Want to contribute? Contact us! 📩 pgc.unc.edu/for-research...

🚨 I just released the alpha-version of my AI in Genomics textbook! It covers (so far!) sequence language models & deep learning for DNA/RNA/proteins. Check it out: biobook.michel.science

So depressing...

🎉Hello and welcome to the PGC Africa Working Group takeover 🎉 For the next 2 weeks, we will share with you exciting updates from @pgc-africa.bsky.social brought to you by @jaredgm.bsky.social and Ofure Ubah 1/4

Postdoc closing soon - two more days to apply for our statistical genetics role in antidepressant response at @kingsioppn.bsky.social

Our new study in Molecular Psychiatry, in 1528 children and their parents (@ntrbiopsy.bsky.social) shows that indirect genetic effects—where parental genetics shape offspring traits via environmental influences (genetic nurture)—impact DNA methylation of children. doi.org/10.1038/s413... (1/5)

🎉 Great news from @ebbsociety.bsky.social 👏 Congrats to our Chair, @francescacirulli.bsky.social, for receiving the Diversity Award in recognition of her dedication to fostering diversity and inclusion in research! 📅Join us in celebrating this achievement at the ALBA session at #EBBS2025

🚨Attention research friends in Heidelberg/Mannheim, we have exiting news. You are warmly invited to join us for a day of networking and sharing science, the keynote will be given by @gordonfeld.bsky.social ⭐! Come and get your ticket at: www.eventbrite.com/e/brain-days...

The Ripke lab has worked on a new stable release of RICOPILI! Updates include compatibility with GRCh38 and imputation using Minimac4. A software tarball and YAML file are provided to help resolve dependency issues: github.com/Ripkelab/ric... Any feedback is highly welcome! @pgcgenetics.bsky.social

We asked three chairs of PGC Working Groups: what is the goal for their research this year? @niamhmullins.bsky.social, Barbara Franke and @egatkinson.bsky.social #womeninSTEM #InternationalWomensDay2025

It is wonderful to be able to share the latest PGC major depression GWAS that included results from our Australian Genetics of Depression Study. Large scale GWAS meta-analyses aren't possible without collaboration between hundreds of researchers and hundreds of thousands of study participants.

Want to get out of Dodge? Do a postdoc @uio.no! You will be using the MoBa study and registers to study intergenerational transmission and GxE for #MentalHealth and #education using @behaviorgenetic.bsky.social and @pgcgenetics.bsky.social approaches. Please share! www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Would you like to see @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social add a share to blue sky button?! I know I would! Share this post to let @richardsever.bsky.social @erictopol.bsky.social and others at bioarxiv know!

Happy to see this finally online: we investigated the genetic association signal of Borderline Personality Disorder in a GWAS meta-analysis with >12,000 cases. We identified 6 risk loci, and investigated shared genetic risk using genetic correlations and PheWAS www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
