📣📣📣 Excited for our lab's latest preprint, led by Chief Ben-Eghan! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... tl;dr We identify protein vQTLs in multiple ancestries then use MVMR to show independent effects of mean & variance on disease, suggesting targeting protein variance could have therapeutic potential.

Super excited to see beginning integration of PredictDB into OmicsPred! We've annotated/deposited the GTExV8 gene expression predictors so they are now available alongside all the other multi-omic predictors at www.omicspred.org More on its way... a wonderful collab with @hakyim.bsky.social & co!

Performance of deep-learning-based approaches to improve polygenic scores - Nature Communications
Polygenic scores aim to capture genetic risk but may miss nonlinear genetic and environmental interactions. Here, the authors show that neural networks detect limited nonlinearity and do not outperfor...

A month ago we @vevotherapeutics.bsky.social announced that we have generated the largest single-cell perturbation atlas in history, Tahoe-100M. Today, we announce that we will fully open-source Tahoe-100M in Feb, as part of a collaboration with NVidia health to train cell state models.

I wrote about how polygenic heritable conditions present in families and the liability threshold model. This has some counterintuitive implications for considering the risk of a condition in offspring as well as the impact of multi-generational selection. A 🧵:
