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:

I am delighted to announce that @mauer_jh’s first paper with me is up on biorxiv! Their work thoroughly evaluates features affecting local ancestry inference across many (I mean many) simulated demographic and data models to advise on best practices.

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 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!.

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!.
