Insightful talk by Robin Hofmeister on inferring non-transmited alleles from close relatives to explore the effect of nurture on complex traits such as offspring education in UK Biobank #ESHG2024
Bye bye, Berlin and #ESHG2024! Thanks to European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) for an awesome conference! My highlights: talks on complete genomes & SVs, Miriam & Robin’s excellent talks, lunch in the sun with maris alver, fun with Tuuli Lappalainen & awesome colleagues PacBio party.
This brilliant scientist was one of the superheroes behind my presentations at ESHG2024 (while preparing for her thesis defense)!🤩Congratulations Dr Maarja Jõeloo! Look forward to working with you in the next stage of your career 💜
