« This paper could have been written by a computer scientist » one of my favourite reviewers’ comments . These two seem to have done OK. Final snap of #SGGDExeter2024

Thanks for a splendid meeting in Exeter👏🏻😃 #sggdexeter2024 Next time 2026 in Bergen😀 #sggdbergen2026

I didn’t get any snaps but it was great to see a great selection of US based researchers joining us including Melina Claussnitzer, Ph.D. Miriam Udler Alisa Manning

The local dream team #SGGDExeter2024

The breadth and depth of this genetics meeting exemplified by these two chaps , from opposite ends of the human genetics works #SGGDExeter2024

Join us in 2026 in Bergen, Norway for the next edition of this fabulous diabetes genetics meeting .

My 16 year old, his brothers and I, waking up this morning struggling with the idea that Barcelona’s right winger playing in champions league last night is younger than him . Insane and awesome .

Exome sequencing is as good as microarrays for finding pathogenic copy number variants! Evidence is very clear from DDD study & supports replacing current 2-step diagnostic process with single genome-wide sequencing approach for dev disorders.

worth a listen. But be prepared to feel down at the idea most of us will never be able to explain complex science as well as stephen o'rahilly (its pronounced O-RA-hill-EEE) . I am claiming 0.0001% of the credit as the person who plucked the 'computer scientist', now Prof John Perry, from an MSc course in 2006.

well done Yajie and team Cambridge.

This is important! Please retweet. Many researchers have asked us to have a control comparison group recruited the same way and with the same measures. If you have never exerienced mental illness or ill-health, please consider that your contribution could help those that do!

recommended. great place and Aleks as supervisor means you'd have someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to data, AI, big data etc etc.

Excellent , well deserved news for Gareth Hawkes and the Exeter team:

Friday night random tweet. I’m liking a lot Beyoncé’s cover of Jolene , better than Miley’s. But nothing will touch Jack White’s version

the Galacticos of European Genetics (plus some from the USA) will be in Exeter next month. Not too late to come and mingle with them:

Nudge yourself: 'If you want to eat a biscuit, eat a biscuit; DnaNudge will just show you the better biscuit for you' dnanudge.com/pages/nutritio… Stuart Ritchie 🇺🇦

very well deserved Gareth.

Friday pm random thought. I want a full omics work up of Jimmy Anderson's left knee. Nearly 42 y.o., he has put 7x his body weight through it nearly 40,000 times. To increase the sample size I would add Roger Federer's right shoulder but otherwise N is going to be small.

great to see this long overdue funding, for the leading geneticists in variation in age at menopause, Anna Murray and John Perry leading teams in Exeter and Cambridge.

Only two weeks left to submit your abstract to EMGM 2024. If you are into statistical genetics, this is the conference to go! Stellar invited speaker lineup: MarioniGroup Matti Pirinen Rebecca Richmond Doug Speed and Gosia Borczyk
