Saurabh teaching in our 5th Fogarty Workshop on Genetic Epidemiological Methods for Dissection of Complex Human Traits in Kolkata, Feb 28, 2009, about to answer a question with a very clear explanation. What a loss - condolences to his colleagues, friends, & family. Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata

Congratulations Dr. Carlson and team!!!@jenccarlson

Science started using external peer review because the editorial board complained that “the job of refereeing and suggesting revisions for hundreds of technical papers is neither the best use of their time nor pleasant, satisfying work.”

Data cleaning principles, so clearly presented by Karl Broman kbroman.org/Talk_DataClean…

Just how poorly does a polygenic score for LDL-C perform in a population that isn’t represented in its construction? Come check out my poster at #ASHG22 this afternoon (Wed) 3-4:45 to find out and chat!

Sounds good to me. My call sign is KB3WIO.

Rule 3 revised: If possible, cut words.

This guide to Mastodon is great.

Bravo "Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases" for giving the option to download a combined PDF containing both the manuscript and the Supplemental Material! This is a time saver, as I almost always end up needing to read something in the Supplemental Material.

We released a commentary on Ioannidis et al (2021) as a preprint. To date the settling of Polynesian islands, they inferred split times using IBD segments shared between modern genomes. We show that their estimator is biased to be ca. 300 years too old. doi.org/10.1101/2022.1…
