Neat profile in Nature of our new study published in PNAS. We find prenatal exposure to the Great Depression resulted in faster biological aging. @UWLaFollette @uwcdha @PNASNews @UW_CDE @UWMadisonMedia @hrsisr How the Great Depression shaped people’s DNA nature.com/articles/d4158…

This is another successful collaboration with the team at UW social genomics @laurenlschmitz @jasonmfletcher Jiacheng did a ton of theoretical work too, so check out the supplement. As always, PIGEON software is available. Feedbacks are appreciated! github.com/qlu-lab/PIGEON

In this new preprint, we examined associations of socioeconomic status (SES) with buccal DNA-methylation (DNAm) measures of biological aging and DNAm of cognition in the German SOEP-G cohort 👄🧬🇩🇪@DIW_Berlin - biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In this weeks’s #HealthCheck with @claudiahammond we hear from @JamesTGallagher about the first drug for #Alzheimers and from @laurenlschmitz on how what we experience before we’re born can affect our health years later. On at 20:32 GMT on @bbcworldservice bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

Excited to finally throw our hat in the ring. Here is our new method (named X-Wing) for cross-ancestry PRS. A key takeaway is that we now do EVERYTHING with sumstats alone which is a major methodological advance. Work is led by @Jiacheng_Miao & Hanmin. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have two method papers out in @GenomeBiology today🍾🍾 The first one introduces PUMAS, an approach to perform "cross-validation" on GWAS summary statistics to select tuning parameters (e.g. optimal p-value cutoffs) for PRS models genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
