IGES April paper pick! AJHG ➡️tinyurl.com/2585rsyy CNVs in 331,522 participants used in GWAS with 57 continuous traits, revealing 131 signals. Pleiotropy & new functions identified Chiara Auwerx @MaarjaLepamets Marie Sadler Marion Patxot Reedik Mägi Eleonora Porcu Zoltán Kutalik

IGES communications May pick! Wang, Sun and Paterson found 1000s of SNPs on X chromosome with differences in allele frequency by sex, especially clustered at boundaries between the pseudo-autosomal regions 1 and 2 and the non-pseudo-autosomal region. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

ALERT!! IGES will not solicit money (outside of dues and conferences!!) If you are receiving emails asking for delegate support or logistic payments please ignore. this is a scam. If you have questions please reach out to IGES email directly (do not reply to the email message).

Happy to host today the workshop lead by Doug Speed & David Balding PARCC-INSERM about #GWAS #Heritability analysis and prediction in person finally! just before IGES meeting starting tomorrow here in Paris. Happy to reconnect with this great research community 🥰

IGES David Balding Thank you David for such a fantastic address for covering this important topic in our field your numerous ways to destroy #GeneticBasedRacism

Huge congratulations to Celia Greenwood, recipient of the IGES Leadership award. Well deserved honors! #IGES22 @Greenwood_LDI

The IGES August paper pick is in! atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rc… This comprehensive multiancestry investigation of epigenome-wide DNA methylation and pulmonary function extends our understanding of mechanisms related to modulation of pulmonary function.

Join us for Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) BioInfoSummer in 4 weeks. Still 2 weeks to register. Great topics (spatial transcriptomics, whole cell modelling, 3D genome structure, microbiome, …), workshops and speakers. Travel bursaries still available.
