🎉 Excited to share that our latest paper is now published! We investigated genetic factors linked to antidepressant side effects in 13,000 individuals from the @ESTbiobank, leveraging data from questionnaires and clinical notes using NLP. shorturl.at/3tAkg
🧬Call for poster presentations is now open! Showcase your research to a diverse audience at #GeneForum2025. 40 poster spots available — connect, share & get feedback from the field. 📅 9–10.09 2025 | Tartu, Estonia 🇪🇪 📝 Rolling deadline – apply early! 👉geneforum.ee/poster-session
Excited to share our recently published overview of the @ESTbiobank 🧬 We highlight the unique features of the biobank and the conducted scientific research, including the many recall studies that have been carried out over the years: nature.com/articles/s4146…
Save the Date! 📅 24th International Gene Forum takes place Sept 9–10 2025 in Tartu 🇪🇪 🧬Welcome to the premier #genetics & #genomics conference in the Baltics. More info: geneforum.ee Registration for #GeneForum2025 opens soon—stay tuned!
Upweight or down-weight samples? People who are less likely to participate should be given more importance in the analyses, however their self-reported values are much less accurate, hence would need to be down-weighted.
Just out in @NatureHumBehav 👇🏼👇🏼 We focused on the causes & impact of self-report error in the UK Biobank. We found that reporting error does not occur at random, is not independent of other participation behaviours, and can complicate the interpretation of genome-wide findings
🚨 Our preprint on parent-of-origin effects (POEs) is out! With our new method, we inferred the parental origin of >220,000 individuals, revealing new insights into the genetic architecture of complex traits. 👉 Read here: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 👇 Highlights below!
So excited for Sweden, this vision is going to multiply the impact of the amazing R&D investments available in the country! #PROMISE
New preprint! With a large group of Swedish colleagues, we present a vision for Precision Omics Initiative Sweden, PROMISE, to build powerful national research data resources, and a research, healthcare and innovation ecosystem around them. 1/ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Genome-wide association study for circulating metabolites in 619,372 individuals medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #medRxiv
We are hiring! Looking for two postdocs. Topics: a) ancestry informed polygenic scores for mixed ancestry individuals and b) integrating polygenic risk models with clinically actionable rare variants for comprehensive disease risk assessment. genomics.ut.ee/en/content/job…
Thanks @JelleVlaanderen for bringing our team at @genomicstartu up to speed with #exposome research. Really look forward to integrating exposome data into @ESTbiobank 🌎expanseproject.eu theguardian.com/environment/ng…
