We are thrilled to welcome @TaurVil to our department!
I'm thrilled to share that I'll be joining the Department of Genetics at UGA as an Assistant Professor in January! @uga_genetics @universityofga
Excited to see my PhD work published! We performed a GWAS of 19 circulating fatty acids in >239K EUR participants, identifying: 🧬 215 (70 novel) loci for PUFA traits 🧬 163 (61 novel) for MUFA traits 🧬 119 (54 novel) for SFA traits Big thanks to @yekaixiong and @xx_huifang!
It is a major PhD project of @YitangS. I am very excited to see this work out. I learned so much about the genetics of circulating fatty acids. This is a solid foundation for more research to come regarding gene-diet interactions for omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

The latest @HGGAdvances article from @yekaixiong & colleagues reports the results of a genome-wide association study that identifies additional genetic loci for 19 circulating fatty acid traits in UK Biobank participants of European ancestry: cell.com/hgg-advances/f… #ASHG
Thank you for speaking out!
It is just so sad that the #NeurIPS2024 main conference ended with such a racist remark by a faculty when talking about ethics. How ironic! I also want to commend the Chinese student who spoke up right on spot. She was respectful, decent, and courageous. Her response was…

My goal is to understand the regulatory role of every nucleotide in the genome, and how this changes across every cell in the human body. If you are interested in doing a Ph.D. with me @UMassGCB, see the links below. Deadline is Dec 1st.
Congrats to our newest Genetics PhD, Dr. Lizzie Greif! Here Lizzie is with her advisor Dr. Leigh Anne Clark. Lizzie will start a position at UPenn with Dr. Sylvia M. Van Sloun. We are proud of you Dr. Greif!

Our group is looking to recruit a new postdoc associate, please help forward the application link ugajobsearch.com/postings/400342. Background in infectious diseases, especially influenza a big plus.
Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend! These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history: 3.3: Human prehistory [separate thread] 3.4: Ancient DNA: a genetic time capsule [this thread] web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…
I'm delighted to release the first half of my new open-access online textbook in human population genetics: web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…
Deadline extended to Sept. 27th!

Our Genetics department is searching for an assistant professor in human genetics. Come join our great community! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
We are searching for a new colleague! The ideal candidate will establish an active and independent research program grounded in the genetic study of human populations related to human biology, development, evolution, and/or disease. ugajobsearch.com/postings/397866
Come join us! UChicago Human Genetics has an open broad computational faculty search (with an emphasis on probabilistic machine learning). First round of application review will begin ~October 15th. apply.interfolio.com/149891 EOE/Vet/Disability.
My department (Genetics and Biochemistry @ Clemson) is hiring again this year! The broad theme for the Assistant Professor position is "biological resilience". I'm happy to talk about my experiences in the department so far (which have been very positive!) apply.interfolio.com/153026
This is a news report on our recent study published on @AJCNutrition doi.org/10.1016/j.ajcn… led by @YitangS
Fish oil supplements are a multi-billion dollar industry with about 2 out of every 25 people taking them. A new study from UGA may encourage a new group to start looking into the supplements too: people with a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol. bit.ly/4daFKVJ
Today is my first official day of being a tenured associate professor! I am grateful for my mentors, trainees, collaborators and friends who help me along the way. I feel very fortunate to do my favorite research in a supportive and collegial community. @uga_genetics @uga_iob
