Happy to share new manuscript I completed with @ee-reh-neh.bsky.social & @davisjmcc.bsky.social back in Melbourne. The work originally conceived by @ijbeasley.bsky.social focuses on how we can reconcile and meta-analyse eQTL studies across studies cohorts and ancestries. doi.org/10.64898/202...
Mother Language Day, yet they focus on the 24 "official" ones instead of the 200+ "minority" mother languages making up the true cultural diversity of Europe 🤦
Yesterday the UK Government published a data provision notice paving the way for coded GP data in England to be shared with consented cohorts like UK Biobank.
Hear from Val, a UK Biobank participant on her hopes for the future.

Very much enjoyed the Festival of Genomics and BioData yesterday in London eventhough I could only be there a few hours!
Highlight has to be meeting Prof Marta Cascante, a pioneer of metabolomics and using metabolic flux analysis to identify new metabolic drug targets! web.ub.edu/en/web/actua...
The STRIDES Trial: Largest ever trial (N~1,300,000) of interventions for blood donor vasovagal reactions (feeling faint and fainting) shows no benefit from four additional interventions www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Simplifies the service, saves £££ and focuses time/effort elsewhere 👏👏👏

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
I asked Grok and it told me to invade Poland instead

A partir d'ara expressaré totes les probabilitats en Bernabéus. E.g "Científics de la NASA calculen que hi ha 0.011 Bernabéus de probabilitat que impacti un meteorit contra la terra"
Wish it was easier to calculate PGS in trusted research environments (TRE) like DNAnexus or the All of Us workbench? Us to! We've been hard at work on a new version of pgsc_calc to make it more scalable in those TREs! Introducing pgsc_calc v3.0.0-alpha.1: pgsc-calc.readthedocs.io/en/v3-alpha.1/

@sritchie73.bsky.social @mikeinouye.bsky.social & team found integrating genetic & metabolic blood tests with existing clinical data could enhance how doctors identify people at high risk of heart disease, leading to earlier prevention strategies

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
📣📣📣 Excited for our lab's latest preprint, led by Chief Ben-Eghan! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
tl;dr We identify protein vQTLs in multiple ancestries then use MVMR to show independent effects of mean & variance on disease, suggesting targeting protein variance could have therapeutic potential.

No estic 100% segur, però diria que la moltes empreses no volen que treballis desde fora UK més de X dies al any perquè és complicat a nivell de impostos
Per treballar al regne unit cal demanar (i pagar) un visat. Entre altres coses demanen acreditar el nivell de anglès. L'únic bo és que és tot digital i no et fan anar a l'embaixada de Madrid
Diria que cal una espècie de ETA que es demana online
Algorithmic fairness metrics have made big inroads in the AI/ML fields to investigate model bias. A clever PhD student (@clairecoffey.bsky.social) thought, why don't you see these methods applied to CVD risk prediction or polygenic risk scores?
