Awesome to see this recognition of @big_data_kane!.

Very excited to read this!.

In following the amazing work @SashaGusevPosts is doing analyzing studies of complex trait architecture and heritability, just want to give a shoutout to the timeless work of Feldman and Lewontin (1975). Still very relevant today.

Very excited to hear from these amazing Laureates at the @BlavatnikAwards next month!.

Very honored to be a part of this amazing group of 2024 US National @BlavatnikAwards recipients! So excited to meet everyone at the awards ceremony and to represent population genetics researchers as part of this inspiring group.

Submit an abstract for @cshlmeetings Biological Data Science! They are due August 23rd, and I hope to see you in November.

This new preprint is so cool! Temporal glucose control GWAS from @technopolymath, @HannaMOllila and colleagues - congrats to all!.

RT @MrPopOfficial: In real time you can see Kamala realize that she may have found her campaign slogan:. “We’re Not Going Back”. https://t….

This paper took incredible work from many people, and all the code for the example scripts can be found here: Now you too can unlearn what you've learned about pop gen in the absence of space! 4/4.

Don't sleep on Appendix B, entitled "Pitfalls" where your questions about weird regular clumps, computational time, dying simulations 😱, and carrying capacity mirages will be answered. 3/4.

contains cool results showing how population-scale theory/parameters actually influence individual-based models. 2/4.

Congrats to the whole team, especially our fearless leaders @petrelharp, @min_jiseon and my student Elsie Chevy, on this paper about pop gen in space: The paper is a "guide" as the title says, AND 1/4.

This thread is worth a read for anyone wondering what misinformation will look like with Kamala Harris at the top of the Dem ticket.

So happy this collab with @lorin_crawford is out, highlighting inflation in additive GWAS effects from cis-interactions at the SNP level. Accepted @eLife, this is @sampatsmith's last paper as my graduate advisee 🥺; & @arbelharpak joined us to help bring this home.

If you 🩷 selection scans, announcing our newest version of SWIF(r): version 2.2.2! We've updated the tool to be compatible with the newest versions of Python (>= 3.10). For questions or concerns, submit an issue on or email hannah_snell@brown.edu.

Very exciting!.

I'm subscribed to @SashaGusevPosts substack blog and you should be too - he's doing an amazing job highlighting misinterpretations of the genetics of complex traits in peer-reviewed literature

#popgen tweeps - we have been having trouble finding the LD map for 1000 Genomes data online; any tips?.

I totally agree!.

The next decade is going to teach us a huge amount about genetic variation within and across species, and Biology of Genomes helps keep one's finger on the pulse of what is possible with genomic techniques. Excited for the future, both in my lab and beyond! n/n.
