Awesome to see this recognition of @big_data_kane!
Congratulations to SFI External Professor C. Brandon Ogbunu (@big_data_kane), one of the 2024 winners of the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications by @theNASEMin partnership with @schmidtsciences. Selected from nearly 600…
Very excited to read this!
Super excited to share my lab's latest work on quantifying the private information leakage from single cell count matrices. Led by very first postdoc in the g2lab, brilliant @BioConorWalker, we showed that individuals can be reidentified 1/n cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
In following the amazing work @SashaGusevPosts is doing analyzing studies of complex trait architecture and heritability, just want to give a shoutout to the timeless work of Feldman and Lewontin (1975). Still very relevant today. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Submit an abstract for @cshlmeetings Biological Data Science! They are due August 23rd, and I hope to see you in November.
This new preprint is so cool! Temporal glucose control GWAS from @technopolymath, @HannaMOllila and colleagues - congrats to all!
1/8 ⭐️Did you know that the circadian rhythm in our body not only guides sleep but also regulates metabolism? We wanted to test how and when, so we used a genome-wide association study to find genes that regulate timing of glucose during the day. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
In real time you can see Kamala realize that she may have found her campaign slogan: “We’re Not Going Back”
This thread is worth a read for anyone wondering what misinformation will look like with Kamala Harris at the top of the Dem ticket.

So happy this collab with @lorin_crawford is out, highlighting inflation in additive GWAS effects from cis-interactions at the SNP level. Accepted @eLife, this is @sampatsmith's last paper as my graduate advisee 🥺; & @arbelharpak joined us to help bring this home.

If you 🩷 selection scans, announcing our newest version of SWIF(r): version 2.2.2! We've updated the tool to be compatible with the newest versions of Python (>= 3.10). For questions or concerns, submit an issue on github.com/ramachandran-l… or email [email protected].
Very exciting!
I am very happy to be at #SMBE2024 to receive the amazing news that we are bringing #SMBE2026 to Copenhagen!! Thanks for the vote of trust @OfficialSMBE
I'm subscribed to @SashaGusevPosts substack blog and you should be too - he's doing an amazing job highlighting misinterpretations of the genetics of complex traits in peer-reviewed literature theinfinitesimal.substack.com/?r=45pkqh&utm_…
#popgen tweeps - we have been having trouble finding the LD map for 1000 Genomes data online; any tips?
I totally agree!
I hope more evol/pop gen people start seeing this as a meeting to attend and learn from! 6/
