Authors of @hggadvances.bsky.social's latest article develop BAF-Wald, a pathogenicity predictor for subunits of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex. The use of gene-specific features allows BAF-Wald to outperform other variant-effect prediction tools: https://bit.ly/3Ng9aKt #ASHG #HumanGenetics

Rare diseases affect approximately 300 million people worldwide. Over 70% are genetic, yet many still face diagnostic delays and limited access to care.
Advancing #HumanGenetics research is essential for better diagnosis and lifelong outcomes. 🧬

Research suggests mating direction bias between Neanderthals and humans Scientists say DNA evidence indicates male Neanderthals and human females interbred more often than opposite

Apparently, women have _always_ liked a bit of rough when it comes to mating...
