You can access FoGS here https://t.co/Kf6r1841um and through the link in our bio. If you have FAQs that you want included in this repository, please email us (genomicsfaq@thehastingscenter.org). Submission guidelines can be found here https://t.co/s1aFD7Kqyi.

The researchers, @ShaiCarmi and team, were featured in @ScienceMagazine ( https://t.co/w2DVM3Lab5) and @TheNYTimes ( https://t.co/UW3d5kSTqH)

They found that the 33 individuals had similar #genetic #ancestry to that of modern Ashkenazi Jews, but were more #genetically #diverse, and also belonged to a small population

They generated #genome-wide data for 33 individual skeletons excavated by archaeologists during construction work in a late medieval Jewish cemetery in Erfurt, Germany

New entry alert! @ShaiCarmi and team provide more insight into Ashkenazi history, and potential origins of genetic diseases associated with modern Jewish populations:

The term “#reproductive success” is used to describe the number of offspring produced by an individual. It does not mean, nor is there any evidence that, those with children lead happier, healthier, or more successful lives.

They found that while there is a relationship between an individual’s #genome-wide damaging variation and their likelihood of experiencing childlessness, personal choices and social factors are more important.

New entry alert! This paper https://t.co/GA9bzoJOAg examined the relationship between damaging #genetic variation and “reproductive success”.

FAQs included in FoGS are not the only way to responsibly communicate research, but we hope this repository invites a larger conversation on researchers’ social responsibilities. More information on the creation of FoGS can be found here

FoGS is the result of a collaboration b/t @lucasjmatthews , @daphmarts, @trejosamtrejo, and @bendomingue. It is graciously hosted by @hastingscenter - which focuses on the ethical issues within health, science, and technology to create a better public understanding of #bioethics

The first FAQ, which was written by principal members of the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium (SSGAC) in 2013. It accompanied a genome-wide association study on education attainment. The number of FAQs published each year has only grown.

FoGS is a repository of FAQs on #genomic research. An FAQ is considered a socially responsible model of science communications for both experts and general audiences. An FAQ aims to provide the context, scope, and limitations of research findings within #Genomics

Here you will find updates on the latest contributions to the FoGS repository, an open-access resource for those wanting to learn more about #Genomics . These FAQs provide information on the scope, limitations, and misconceptions often associated with genomic research results.

FoGS aims to mitigate misunderstanding and misinterpretation of #genomic research by accompanying #genomic analyses with explanatory documents.

Welcome to the Official FoGS Twitter account! FoGS (FAQs on Human Genomic Studies) is an open-access repository designed to provide responsible communication of #genomic research.
