Starting off the new year with a new paper! 🎆📰.Check out @mauer_jh 's fantastic manuscript evaluating features influencing the accuracy of local ancestry inference in admixed populations. Tweetorial posted previously for the preprint below, and PDF at:

So happy for my PhD student, @get_grace_, on her award of her F31! Very well deserved 🤩 will be fun working together to reduce disparities in cardiometabolic prediction!.

The lab had a great time at #ASHG2024, learning about the newest in genetics and genomics, and with several members seeing snow for the first time!

The Atkinson lab is representing at #ASHG2024! Come check out our work over the next few days:

The preprint is officially up! Check it out for more details on our pipeline and results. I'll expand with a fuller tweetorial for the ultimate publication; for those attending ASHG, check out Pragati's poster (board 1046T) in the meantime! 🧬🎨 .

Apparently, it’s Boss’s Day today - something I learned when my amazing team surprised me with a custom cookie cake! I’m so touched and grateful to be surrounded by such a talented and thoughtful group. ☺️

This work, co-led by Mike Wilson and Pragati, was the result of a close collaboration with @broadinstitute, with more folks to thank than I can link. Big big thanks to all who contributed, especially the @gnomad_project team!.

Check out the blog post linked above for more details, watch this space for an upcoming expanded preprint, and come see my talented trainee @prags_kore 's poster at #ASHG24 (board 1046T), to learn more!.

With the release of this new LAI data, we provide a higher-resolution view of allele frequency across specific ancestry backgrounds, which is obscured when assessing frequency at the aggregate group level, enabling more precise and accurate genomic interpretations.

The new LAI-informed frequency data includes 24,204,574 biallelic variants with MAF>0.1% in this genetic ancestry group, and can be downloaded as a VCF or interactively explored on the gnomAD browser (.

I'm excited to announce that we have generated local ancestry informed allele frequencies for the inferred African/African American genetic ancestry group of gnomAD v4.0, live now on the browser!.

So proud of my stellar trainee, @get_grace_ , who will be leading an advocacy workshop for @GeneticsSociety tomorrow! There's still time to register - don’t miss her insights on driving real change in genetics research.

I am so flattered to be part of the @AJHGNews Featured Symposium! Looking forward to talking about the needs and opportunities surrounding genomics research in lower and middle income settings!.
