Deadline extended to August 1st! Fully funded DPhil (PhD) in Statistical Genetics at Oxford, available to international candidates!

Come join us! We have an exciting PhD opportunity in statistical genetics at the University of Oxford. More info here: bit.ly/biomedDPhil 🗓️ App deadline: June 30th 2025. Please share!

📣Big news! Our tag-team effort on common variants in rare neurodevelopmental conditions is now out in @Nature! 📣 Co-first authoring with the brilliant @qinqin_huang🌟—proof that teamwork does make the dream work. 💪 nature.com/articles/s4158…

New post doc position! Come to Oxford and join a multidisciplinary research team focused on studying multi-organ health through large-scale population health studies. You'll use multi-organ data to advance our understanding of multimorbidity: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

I'm excited to announce that we have generated local ancestry informed allele frequencies for the inferred African/African American genetic ancestry group of gnomAD v4.0, live now on the browser! gnomad.broadinstitute.org/news/2024-10-l…

In our latest work, we explore the contribution of rare, typically inherited, damaging genetic variants to the risk of severe developmental disorders (DDs) and establish a major role for incompletely penetrant rare variation. Now out on medRxiv: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just 6 days left to apply! Please share!

Neuroanatomical structures 🧠 help regulate the endocrine and reproductive system. We investigated genetics underlying variation in these structures using ~35,000 @uk_biobank MRIs and here’s what we found! 🧵 below or new preprint @medrxivpreprint > medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

if you're a graduate interested in genetics / comp bio check this opportunity out!! @ceclindgren + @astheeggeggs are an amazing mentor duo - DM if you have any Q's at all (i'm finishing this contract & going into a DPhil)

Come and work with us! The Lindgren @ceclindgren Lab at the Big Data Institute @bdi_oxford in Oxford is looking to hire a junior statistical geneticist/bioinformatician (finished or about to finish undergrad/masters): bit.ly/BDIbioinf24. Please share!

The amazing @ceclindgren steps down as Director of @bdi_oxford. She stays on as a group leader while pursuing exciting new avenues. Big thanks for all she has done (a lot!!) led by Sir Rory Collins and Richard Cornall. @Oxford_NDPH @NDMOxford

(1/4) I’m delighted to announce that our research on RNU4-2 is now out on @Nature . This is an exciting finding that will bring many diagnoses worldwide. We have updated some new results since the preprint: nature.com/articles/s4158…

phasing large-scale genetic cohorts to discover phenome-wide consequences of compound heterozygosity ✨⚡️ ⁦@uk_biobank⁩ @CellGenomics⁩ - with amazing ⁦@flassen_⁩ ⁦@astheeggeggs⁩ ⁦@SamvidaV⁩ ⁦@NikBaya⁩ ⁦@weizhouw⁩ ect cell.com/cell-genomics/…

Delighted that this work is now published @GenomeBiology and available at link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Our paper “Investigating the role of cis-eQTLs in modifying the penetrance of putatively damaging, inherited variants in severe neurodevelopmental disorders” (NDDs) is out in Scientific Reports! Three interesting findings led to this study: nature.com/articles/s4159…
