I’m thrilled to share that our work from the @VAResearch is finally out in @ScienceMagazine ! We dive deep into the genetic architecture of 2,068 traits using data from the VA Million Veteran Program, comprising 635,969 Veteran.

A new genetic study—using data from the Million Veteran program—highlights the importance of diversity in understanding health disparities. @damrauer @_anuragverma @DeptVetAffairs spr.ly/6016ioV02

Launching #PankBase at @ADA_DiabetesPro - excited to be part of this @HIRN_CC @NIDDKgov effort working with such an amazing team. If you missed our outreach session this evening fear not you can contact us [email protected] @kjgaulton @theparkerlab
This is #BaldursGate3 absurd
Is this evidence that Mind flayers are real? And living among us??

It's a pity that All of Us used UMAP to visualize ancestry variation in their new marker paper, out today in Nature.
The UMAP algorithm, by design, exaggerates the distinctiveness of the most frequent ancestries, a message that can be misinterpreted by the public.

#DNA insights into #diabetes
💡In the largest #type2diabetes GWAS study yet, a global team including #HelmholtzMunich researchers uncovered 600+ genetic risk loci, constructing risk scores for disease complications.

Delighted to see this out! Was fun to work with @rkreienkMDPhD @miriam_udler @bvoight28 to update the chapter on the genetics of type 2 diabetes in @NIDDKgov book #diabetesinamerica Hopefully some useful figures in this chapter too for folks to use!

Golden silk orb-weaver (Trichonephila clavipes). If (or better, when) you walk head first into a spider web across a trail at La Selva 🇨🇷, chances are it’s one of these guys. This species is well studied, and even had its genome sequenced by @bvoight28: nature.com/articles/ng.3852
