And here is part 2 of the @MyBioTechniques feature by Beatrice on our recent work on genetic and oral histories in Southwest India ( https://t.co/pUAHB57aLO).
cell.com
This study uses community-engaged and multi-disciplinary methods to investigate the interplay between oral and genetic histories in four Southwest Indian populations: Bunt, Kodava, Nair, and Kapla....
In Part one, we learned about the challenges of ancient and modern DNA research and the techniques @MaanasaRaghavan (Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics within @UChicagoBSD) uses to collect samples and sequence them. Now, Part two highlights the work

It was great talking to Beatrice Bowlby from @MyBioTechniques about our research and, more broadly, about aDNA. Part 1 out now, stay tuned for part 2 next week!
Using a combination of genomic datasets from ancient and present-day human groups, @MaanasaRaghavan (@GenSCAPE_Lab) – an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics within @UChicagoBSD – investigates how the genetic diversity that’s present today has evolved

🚨New Preprint Alert: Our work led by @JinghuiLi14637 is up on bioRxiv. We re-analyzed large maps of trans-pQTLs, and found that protein–protein interactions shape trans-regulatory impact of genetic variation on protein expression and complex traits. A brief thread🧵👇
