I have an opening for a staff scientist or bioinformatician in my group at the Sanger Institute (closing date 24 March). Our current projects focus on disentangling rare and common variant contributions to rare neurodevelopmental conditions and to neurodevelopmental and perinatal traits. 1/2

The Contribution of Common and Rare Genetic Variation to Emotional and Behavioural Symptoms in Childhood and Adolescence
Genetic factors influence vulnerability to common mental health conditions, but their role in early-life mental health remains understudied. We analysed genotype array and exome sequence data from two...

1/ Thrilled to share our new preprint now out on medRxiv, where we explore genetic factors contributing to prematurity in developmental disorders and examine how prematurity influences clinical presentations: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Investigating the Interplay Between Prematurity and Genetic Variation in the Context of Rare Developmental Disorders
Rare damaging genetic variation accounts for a substantial proportion of the risk of rare developmental disorders (DDs), but common genetic variants as well as environmental factors, including prematu...
