Really happy to see the paired PGC & SCHEMA papers on medRxiv - great efforts by so many working together to advance schizophrenia genetic discovery!! Comments welcome!! PGC (GWAS): medrxiv.org/content/10.110… SCHEMA (exomes): medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share my new preprint: The distribution of common-variant effect sizes 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

An informative new blog post on our study design, latest results, next steps and more 👏🏽Brooke N. Wolford, PhD Kumar Veerapen, PhD covid19hg.org/blog/2020-09-2…

Scientists at the Broad Institute discovered 10 rare genetic variants that increase a person's risk of schizophrenia up to 50 fold. A study from PGC Consortium identifies 287 common variants with small effects. Will guide future research and drug discovery. bostonglobe.com/2022/04/06/bus…

Humans are the only bipedal great apes, due to our unique skeletal form. What genomic regions contributed to such change? Our work, combining imaging, genetic & EHR data to understand the genetic architecture and evolution of the human skeletal form is up: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

By combining data from full-body x-ray images and associated genomic data from more than 30,000 UK Biobank participants, researchers have provided new insights into the evolution of the human skeletal form. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/3qw

Humans are the only bipedal great apes, due to the evolution of our unique skeletal form. What genomic regions underlie such change? Our cover article in @sciencemagazine led by Eucharist Kun and in collab. with @tarjs is now out! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… x.com/ScienceMagazin…
