Expanding the genetic landscape of obesity dlvr.it/Sv7bDp

Successful completion of sequencing the Y chromosome in its entirety (~62.5 million base pairs) might be the most impressive achievement by the genomics field to date. It's a nightmare to assemble those massively duplicated regions and sequences that are mirror images of…

Jennifer Posey, MD, PhD's work in the Rare and Atypical Diabetes Network (RADIANT) consortium has led to assessments for over 100 participants in the last two years.

I'm looking for a postdoc to study how endogamy and consanguinity shape the genetic architecture of complex traits in South Asians! If interested, please apply at hr.umn.edu/Jobs/Find-Job, Job ID: 356673. Informal inquiries welcome! RT much appreciated!

Our paper on Grand challenges in bioinformatics education & training is out thanks to the lead authors. @H3ABionet is acutely aware of the need for bioinformatics training, we need an African Bioinformatics Institute to fill the gap in training when the H3ABioNet funding ends.

Excellent review of using human genetics to inform therapeutic development. Mostly informed by rare loss-of-function alleles to-date with emerging opportunities informed by common variants. nature.com/articles/s4158… nature

Come and work with us! It's an amazing team and an incredible opportunity to develop computation tools that will have real world impact in a wide range of areas as well as being part of pushing the boundaries of what is possible with DNA and RNA sequencing.
