New study combines MPRAs+RNAseq to functionally validate 94 rare nc variants from blood trait GWAS -> identification of 22 w/ direct regulatory effects. Great example of what can be done from association work to functional validation! 🔗 www.cell.com/cell-reports... (ft @mikeinouye.bsky.social et al)

Extremely cool paper from @rjhfmstr.bsky.social @zkutalik.bsky.social and team. I still need to get my head around how the same genetic variant has opposite effects depending if it’s maternally or paternally inherited and why.

A study out today has used our food liking GWAS to conclude that pizza liking is protective against T2D. I am now thorn between “oh look someone is using our results” and “oh no look what we have unleashed”

I have no affiliation with this summer school, but it’s really taught by some of the best, and it’s free!! Fair warning, it’s highly competitive & merit based (I was rejected way back when 🤣). Postdocs and PhD in stat gen should absolutely apply! lpshg.com

This is the wisest post in a bonkers thread about Base R vs tidyverse. No matter what stats program or flavor you want me to write in, I will produce inefficient code. You will not fix me by converting me to your standard, I will only make your standard look bad.
