Really excited to share our new PRS method, developed with @aprilkim.bsky.social and @alexisbattle.bsky.social ! Our approach is to use a lot of recently developed functional annotations to better estimate the weights of the SNPs. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Polygenic prediction of phenotypes with a neural empirical Bayes approach
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) estimate the expected value of a phenotype based on individual genotypes. Although statistical approaches for calculating PRS have advanced considerably in recent years, fe...

Excited to share our latest work on comparing and visualizing multiple genome assemblies to identify conservation and structural variation in pangenomes with Mumemto! Check out poster 250 at #bog25 if you are here. New preprint coming very soon 👀

SV prioritization tools in both prioritizing coding and noncoding variant benchmarks. Finally, we were able to prioritize confident rare disease candidate SVs and genes in the Undiagnosed Disease Network data. To learn more, read our paper here: genome.cshlp.org/content/earl....

After extensive analyses of rare SVs near gene expression outliers using long and short-read sequencing, we developed Watershed-SV, extending Watershed, to prioritize functional rare SVs and genes they impact. Our model significantly improves from a baseline model and state-of-the-art

Happy to share our work characterizing functional rare SVs in rare diseases with long-read genome sequencing and transcriptomic outlier data: genome.cshlp.org/content/earl...

Excited to share a preprint for (w/ @benlangmead.bsky.social) our new tool, Mumemto, on biorxiv! Mumemto finds multi-MUMs across pangenomes (i.e. mummer but for pangenomes). It can rapidly visualize synteny, identify misassemblies, and accelerate core genome and multiple alignment, highlighting SVs.

Mumemto: efficient maximal matching across pangenomes
Aligning genomes into common coordinates is central to pangenome analysis and construction, but it is also computationally expensive. Multi-sequence maximal unique matches (multi-MUMs) are guideposts ...
