Saturday night scrabble! Yes!

Scrabble board with “genome” played as a word.

They blame immigrants so you don’t blame billionaires

We have a fantastic time attending the NHGRI trainee conference in Philadelphia. Great and inspirational science! (And Ben Franklin is everywhere!) #NHGRI #PATH-GDS #PATH-GREU

Summix2 also enables estimation of local substructure across the genome enabling scans for potential regions of selection. (7/9)

Identify other genetic substructure ie, genetic similarity to disease. In CO Biobank, we found older ages had a higher proportion of genetic similarity to prostate cancer cases. Maybe selection bias where people with PC come to the health system for treatment and are recruited to the Biobank. (6/9)

Genetic similarity map adjustment & visualization. Even with bias in substructure estimates, the bias is not propagated for harmonization! Using a genetic similarity map is closer to a continuous representation of genetic ancestry in summary data & denser maps will likely improve harmonization (5/9)

Summix2 builds off our initial Summix method (AJHG 2021) characterizing finer-scale population structure using 50 reference groups compared to 5 continental level groups in v1. We use this to harmonize genetic summary data to match an individual or sample. (3/9)

Summix2 detects and harmonizes for genetic substructure in summary data increasing the utility of *all* genetic summary data, especially for admixed populations. (2/9)
