'Benchmarking of local genetic correlation estimation
methods using summary statistics from genome-wide
association studies' -- doi.org/10.1093/bib/bb…

Very nice *external* comparison of 3 sumstats methods for inferring local genetic correlations.
- ρ-hess, SUPERNOVA and LAVA -

If you're interested in polygenic scores, multi-omics, open software tools and new analytic methods for risk prediction and dissecting aetiology, do have a look at the below! x.com/minouye271/sta…

Are the recorded sessions of #WCPG2023 available already?
Where can I find them? 🙏

Hi everyone!

Abstracts submissions are now open for the UK Biobank Research Symposium that we host in Brisbane (Feb 6-9th). [Link: ausukb2024.org].

Note the deadline for abstract submission is Dec 1st, 2023.

Look forward to seeing you there 🙂!

All the individuals from the UK Biobank have now been sequenced, right?

Does anyone know if there is a plan to replace the BGEN imputed data of 90M variants by a subset of the sequenced data?

The whole room for myself at #WCPG2023 😅

Now Florian Privé will talk about LDpred2.

LD Pred2 auto can do prediction, inference, fine-mapping.

Original model was spike-and-slab. LD Pred2 auto directly estimates parameters from a Gibbs sampler. No tuning set required.

Honestly, all this formatting bullshit that we have to do for papers will make me quit publishing one day..
😩

The second paper of my PhD is finally out!
Have you ever wanted to account for time-to-event in a GWAS, but not known if you would actually increase power? Then find out here! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Really cool paper published taking the multi-PGS approach to the next level and applying it to psychiatric disorders. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Would be really fun to try this on CVD, diabetes, autoimmune outcomes if not already...

📣We're hiring! Please RT and share. #postdoc position in statistical genetics at DBMI at Harvard Med. Salary above normal range.

🗽{pixelart} allows one to create pixelized versions of images in #rstats .

I 'hacked' the package to eliminate extra lines and then save the image. Cropping is taken into account when saving.

Nice talk with my academic goat Florian Privé Yue Yao at #ESHG2023

Having a beer at the crown plaza hotel with Emil.
Feel free to join #ESHG2023

Already next to my poster a bit early if you can't wait anymore to see it 🙃
