@GeneticsSociety
The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) is the world's largest professional membership organization for human genetics & genomics specialists.
Your peers brought the ideas, now you get the insights! Explore cutting-edge topics shaping our field, from: 🔬Genome Variation 🧪Structure and Function 🧬Complex Traits & more! Which are you most excited about? Reply & let us know! 🔗 bit.ly/4nUMBIA #ASHG
Yesterday, members of our Program Committee took to Capitol Hill to advocate for robust #NIHfunding and the future of biomedical research. Their message to lawmakers: science matters — and so does sustained research funding. #ASHG
Yesterday our leader @sgrayg, along with @LindsayRizzardi & @JillFahrner, advocated in #Congress on behalf of the @GeneticsSociety and described the amazing work #scientists are doing in the #NC districts! 🔬🧠🧬💻 #TedBudd #DeborahRoss #ValerieFoushee #ASHG #NorthCarolina
Happy Birthday to Rosalind Franklin—the brilliant scientist behind the discovery of DNA’s structure! We’re celebrating her legacy today with a fun trivia challenge in our IG Stories. Join us to test your knowledge & honor this legend! 📲 👉 @GeneticsSociety #ASHG #HumanGenetics
HGG Advances (@HGGAdvances) is built on the same values that guide ASHG—scientific excellence, inclusivity, and a commitment to advancing knowledge that benefits people everywhere. Hear from our editors: hubs.li/Q03v8ghk0 @GeneticsSociety
Experience the power of innovation in the August 27 virtual workshop! Presenting the new large-scale imputation service, backed by the @NIH's @AllofUsResearch & @genome_gov's AnVIL, leave knowing how to apply the service to genomic data. Register: bit.ly/451YzHI
Celebrating 5 years of @HGGAdvances: Hear from Associate Editor Philip J. Lupo, PhD, MPH: hubs.li/Q03ctJHr0 @GeneticsSociety
“@HGGAdvances is a reflection of where our field is going.” For five years, the journal has published work that drives science forward. Associate Editor, Noura Abul-Husn, MD, PhD, invites you to celebrate this anniversary by being a part of what’s next! 📹youtube.com/shorts/GcGJo9e…
.@AJHGNews' latest article develops an algorithm enabling the detection of a CASR allelic series associated w/ hypocalcemia. Their work suggests that variants in genes underlying rare disorders may cause greater symptom burden than currently appreciated: bit.ly/46qCvsZ
.@HGGAdvances' latest study from @ollie_pain introduces a summary-statistic-based strategy for optimally combining population-specific scores, thus supporting flexible, efficient, and equitable genomic prediction using multi-ancestry GWAS: cell.com/hgg-advances/f… #ASHG
Before the discovery of DNA, a man named Gregor Mendel uncovered the foundation for human genetics research by cross-breeding pea plants. Happy birthday, Gregor Mendel!🎊Learn more about his work in genetic inheritance via our Discover Genetics Fact Sheet: bit.ly/3GQS5n2
.@HGGAdvances' latest article assessed different prostate cancer risk prediction methods using nine polygenic risk scores (PRS) in three large cohorts. The findings support the utility of PRS for population-based risk stratification: bit.ly/4nZRGQe #ASHG
The HLA region is key to human health, but is often excluded in large-scale GWAS. Informing future studies on its influence, @AJHGNews' latest article reports HLA haplotype-based associations across thousands of diseases: bit.ly/4lrJiXT #ASHG @jkpritch
