Ashley Adjetey - Mendelian randomisation (using MR-Base) to investigate the causal relationship between Glaucoma and Alzheimer’s (individuals with each have increased risk of the other) #EWGtarget

Ed Mountjoy @_edmj from Open Targets describes a ML approach for prioritizing genes at ALL trait-associated loci. Uses a learned model with curated set of gold-standard positives (ChEMBL, ProGeM, expert-curated) and shows predicted scores that are well calibrated. #EWGtarget

Just out (in preprint) from our clinical AF2 Dan Drodge with Ashley Adjetey MRC IEU - Causal analysis shows evidence of atopic dermatitis leading to an increase in vitamin D levels medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

WE ARE RECRUITING for a short-term post in genetic epidemiology, working on the exciting BIOMAP-IMI project at the MRC IEU We are open to flexible working - remotely or PT 📅Closing: 17th Jan 2021 If interested, get in touch to discuss! bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/deta…

Celebrating women and girls in STEM #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience

Happy #WomenInScienceDay one and all

Spent the day on a virtual writing retreat organised by the brilliant Ashley Adjetey with others MRC IEU. Here are some crowdsourced writing tips 🖋️✍️🏽 🧵 (can't tag all, but please add to the thread)

Our paper on "Roadmap to Increase Diversity in Genomic Studies" is published in Nature Medicine We describe factors contributing to genomics imbalance and propose a roadmap to enhance inclusion. 1/5 Team Tinashe Chikowore Muhammad Ayub Alicia Martin @Kkuchenbaecker nature.com/articles/s4159…

New #OpenAccess paper published using Children of the 90s data: #Imputation to study #filaggrin #FLG null #mutations in large population #cohorts that lack bespoke genotyping Ashley Adjetey Lavinia Paternoster Sara 💙💛 🇺🇦 BIOMAP-IMI published in WellcomeOpenResearch bit.ly/PaperC2681

Can we use DNA information that is already available from previous studies to get information about one gene, called filaggrin to obtain genetic information from research participants in a cost-effective way? Check out our latest lay summary: biomap-imi.eu/publications/l….

Now live on medRxiv - our European and multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis of atopic dermatitis! Many thanks to the 40+ cohorts involved with Lavinia Paternoster Marie Standl and Anna Kilanowski
