What does it mean to be Latin American? I don't know. The term spans so many cultures and identities that defining a single concept feels impossible. Today, our article on one aspect of Latin American diversity (genetics) was published in Cell Genomics. cell.com/cell-genomics/…

NEW PREPRINT! Interested in Mendelian randomization and proteomics? We created a comprehensive multi-ancestry proteome-phenome-wide atlas of protein-disease associations in European, African, and East Asian ancestries! medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Website: broad.io/protein_mr_atl…

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! gnomad.broadinstitute.org/news/2024-10-l…

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!

Thanks @egatkinson! We can't wait for your talk at #ASHG24 in our Featured Symposium

Congratulations, Dr. J Lupski!! @bcmhouston @bcmgenetics @TexasChildrens @LupskiLab

🎉 We're keeping the celebration of our 2024 Professional Award recipients going! 🙌 Honor their incredible contributions and dedication to #humangenetics by watching their acceptance speeches. Plus look forward to seeing them live at #ASHG24! Watch here: learning.ashg.org/2024-ashg-awar…

Interested in applying functional genomics to uncover molecular mechanisms of brain disease? We are #recruiting a postdoc for an NIH-funded project focused on identifying convergent pathways in neurodevelopmental disease. Please RT! You can apply directly here:…

🚨Review alert! Admixed populations make up a large portion of global genetic diversity but are often excluded from genomics. Our paper surveys tools & methods to better include these groups in studies, reducing disparities in genomic medicine. 🧬👏 @doubletaotan @egatkinson👇


Great webinar today from #ASHG #Advocacy sharing what advocacy is, why to do it, and how to get started! Grateful for members of the ASHG GPAC and @FASEBorg for putting this together.

This Wednesday! Don’t miss our webinar on how #ASHGmembers can advocate for increased federal science funding and the importance of genetics research. Learn how you can make an impact as a scientist in shaping U.S. policy: learning.ashg.org/products/demys… #ASHG #Advocacy

Come learn more about Tractor and the wonderful pipeline developed by Nirav Shah @shahnirav256 for it!

Join us for our next Members' Meetup, where we will: 1. Provide an overview of the Tractor method and its underlying theory. 2. Offer a live demonstration, from installation to interpretation of results. 3. Conduct a Q&A session ispg.net/members-meetup…

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.

I'm currently looking to hire a technician to work on CRISPR screens in stem cells to understand the molecular basis of neurodevelopmental disease! A great opportunity to gain research experience @bcmhouston before applying to grad school jobs.bcm.edu/job/Houston-Re…
