Very happy that HAPPY is published at Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146… HAPPY is an AI pipeline for cell and micro-anatomical tissue analysis in placenta histology. The placenta has seen relatively little attention in AI for digital pathology and it’s time we change that 🧵

👇A fantastic opportunity to see the breadth of statistical genetics research! And I'll be giving a talk on our latest paper on the genetics of infertility and reproductive hormones - medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have such a fantastic lineup of talks from Dr Cathryn Lewis, Clare Turnbull- Prof/NHS Dr, Eugene Gardner, Kashyap Patel, Kate Ruth, Alex Blakes, Aimee Hanson, Samvida Venkatesh and Becca Kingdom Places are limited and filling fast!

phasing large-scale genetic cohorts to discover phenome-wide consequences of compound heterozygosity ✨⚡️ ⁦UK Biobank⁩ Cell Genomics⁩ - with amazing ⁦Frederik Heymann Lassen⁩ ⁦Duncan Palmer⁩ ⁦Samvida Venkatesh⁩ ⁦Nik Baya⁩ ⁦Wei Zhou⁩ ect cell.com/cell-genomics/…

Out in Nature Communications - analyzing the genetic architecture of change in BMI over time in EHR data from VA Research Estonian Biobank UK Biobank - with ✨✨✨ Samvida Venkatesh #habibganjgahi #georgenicholson Oxford Statistics Chris Holmes Duncan Palmer pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38987242/

Delighted that this work is now published in Nature Communications ! New highlights: we replicated the finding of a missense variant in APOE associated with weight loss in thousands more participants #MillionVeteranProgram Estonian Biobank

So excited that our paper “De novo variants in the RNU4-2 snRNA cause a frequent neurodevelopmental syndrome” is out today in nature nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵 1/16

A fantastic thread (and I learn something new every time I hear Nicky Whiffin talk about this work!) -- very curious to think about the mutational processes in germ cells that may lead to this striking pattern 🤯

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

Delighted to have played a small part in this work exploring the genetic variation underlying endocrine-related brain structures 🧠 and reproductive hormones 🩸 See Hannah Currant 's lovely thread below for some fascinating science!
