So excited to present tomorrow morning at #EMGM2020 what we found when trying to find out by which pathways food affects health! Those (virtually) attending the conference, come join me at the very first session!

There is hope in analysing dietary items! Two talks by Nele Taba + Nicola Pirastu covered the causal models used to untangle the food-metabolites relationship. Probably the first time I see a legit MR done with Alcohol. Some of the results here: npirastu.shinyapps.io/Food_MR/

Extremely excited to finally share this work in collaboration with the super brilliant Nele Taba. How does diet influence blood metabolite levels? Here we use MR to find it out. Longer thread to follow and comments appreciated. disq.us/t/3s5ufap

So happy to say this: our paper looking at the relationships between dietary patterns and blood metabolites is published! tinyurl.com/8cwwbn4c Thank you so much to everybody involved (Nicola Pirastu, Krista Fischer, Hanna-Kristel Valge, Tõnu Esko, Andres Metspalu, Jim Wilson)!

Our genome-wide association meta-analysis on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease led by Nooshin ghodsian is published today in Cell Reports Medicine! Thanks to Amit V. Khera Tõnu Esko Connor Emdin Nele Taba and the others for a great collaboration. cell.com/cell-reports-m…

New paper out: microbiome and causal inference! Let us tell you a bit more:

🚨 Our parent-of-origin study is out in nature ! 🧬 Maternal and paternal alleles can have distinct — even opposite — effects on human traits, revealing a hidden layer of genetic architecture that standard GWAS miss. 🔗nature.com/articles/s4158… Highlights below!
