A mind-blowing discovery of a noncoding region in the human genome that might be holding the answer that 1000s of parents around the world with a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) have been patiently waiting for years. A recurrent de novo noncoding single base pair

Absolutely love this

Thrilled to announce that I will begin a new academic journey tomorrow! I'll join the LSCP École normale supérieure | PSL as a PhD student under Prof. Franck Ramus' supervision, working on genetic factors in learning disabilities. Excited for this new adventure!

personality at #bga2024! Ted Schwaba showed GWAS of personality from up to 1M participants! Polygenic prediction does not reduce when predicting within- family differences, so no bias! We just need to find rare variants to get to the family estimated heritability of .25!

A wholesome thread and experience!

In September 2023 I had the incredible opportunity to be at the THL sociogenomic workshop in Helsinki, 🇫🇮. Time flies!
