1/8 ⭐️Did you know that the circadian rhythm in our body not only guides sleep but also regulates metabolism? We wanted to test how and when, so we used a genome-wide association study to find genes that regulate timing of glucose during the day. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Genome-wide association study for circulating metabolites in 619,372 individuals medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #medRxiv

📢 GWAS meta-analysis preprint: - 249 circulating metabolite traits in over 600k individuals - Data from UKBB & EstBB, using Nightingale NMR - 4,184 novel loci (incl. results from non-EUR ancestries) - Loads of low frequency variants - Sumstats available on GWAS catalog FTP

I won't be attending #ASHG24 this year, but do check out this cool talk from Jeffrey Barrett Nightingale Health that also contains some results from our two most recent preprints.

Just helped create the stunning Ryoji Ikeda exhibition in Tartu! Visitors can dive into the hypnotic fusion of science and art, with genetic data from the Estonian population and our institute's data reimagined through LED screens and mirrors 🧬 #RyojiIkeda #ERM #Tartu2024

My new pop-science book on Estonian fossils is almost out! I wanna give out a sincere thanks to all the people, who helped me get it done :) Pre-sale discount available for 1 week! Book itself launches in about ~2 weeks: argokirjastus.ee/toode/eesti-ki… PS! Book is only in Estonian!

Tšempionid olete! :)

1/6 🚨 Thrilled to share our new preprint on the genetics of dermatophytosis susceptibility on medRxiv! 🚨 With over 250K cases and 1.37M controls across 4 cohorts, we uncover 30 loci that affect risk for this fungal infection affecting 20% of the global population. 🌍

We're really proud to have contributed to this awesome work with Estonian Biobank data! Congrats to the lead authors!
