We have developed and scaled the blended genome exome to >50k ancestrally diverse individuals. At ~$100/sample, it's cost comparable with GWAS arrays but assays high quality coding variants, enables CNV calling, and imputes common variants accurately biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎓Applying to Neuro PhD programs this Fall? Harvard’s student-run Application Assistance Program offers mentorship (personal statement feedback, Q&A, etc.), especially for applicants without access to strong guidance during the application process. 📢Please spread the word!

I am so flattered to be part of the AJHG Featured Symposium! Looking forward to talking about the needs and opportunities surrounding genomics research in lower and middle income settings!

So proud of my stellar trainee, @get_grace_ , who will be leading an advocacy workshop for ASHG tomorrow! There's still time to register - don’t miss her insights on driving real change in genetics research.

Apparently, it’s Boss’s Day today - something I learned when my amazing team surprised me with a custom cookie cake! I’m so touched and grateful to be surrounded by such a talented and thoughtful group. ☺️

Please join us on 10/31 for the public report release webinar of the new NASEM Health report on The Use of Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research. We’ll be giving a brief recap of the report and have a Q&A open to the public! nationalacademies.org/event/43893_10…

Hello, everyone! Over the next two weeks, I'd like to invite you to learn what is being done to understand psychiatric disorders in Latin American populations. If you're interested, join us! LAGC-PsychiatricGenetics #latinamerican #genetics

The Atkinson lab is representing at #ASHG2024! Come check out our work over the next few days:

The lab had a great time at #ASHG2024, learning about the newest in genetics and genomics, and with several members seeing snow for the first time!

So happy for my PhD student, @get_grace_, on her award of her F31! Very well deserved 🤩 will be fun working together to reduce disparities in cardiometabolic prediction!

📢Online now! 📰Characterizing features affecting local ancestry inference performance in admixed populations 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Elizabeth Atkinson Marcos Santoro🧬🇧🇷 & colleagues cell.com/ajhg/abstract/…

Starting off the new year with a new paper! 🎆📰 Check out Jessica Mauer 's fantastic manuscript evaluating features influencing the accuracy of local ancestry inference in admixed populations. Tweetorial posted previously for the preprint below, and PDF at: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kN7dgeXA9Xy

.AJHG' paper by Elizabeth Atkinson, Jessica Mauer, & co. examine accuracy rates & error modes for local ancestry inference (LAI). Their work informs best practices for high-quality LAI vital for genomics applications in admixed populations: cell.com/ajhg/abstract/… #ASHG
