4 years ago, we ran 16,554 GWASes for 7,271 traits across 6 ancestry groups and released the data to the public along with meta-analysis. After many careful dives through the results, we are happy to present these analyses on behalf of the Pan-UKB Project: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Alicia Martin and Yixuan He from Broad Institute and CGM at MGH highlight the need for more diverse biobanks in social genomics in their Nature Human Behavior commentary (nature.com/articles/s4156…)

The MX Biobank paper is out today in nature! This is the first national-scale genomic database in Mexico and the largest independent project led by my lab Cinvestav since I returned to my home country to help building local capacity. rdcu.be/dojZ5

The 1000 Genomes dataset has been the most robust, generally-available imputation reference panel for nearly 10 years now

The new HGDP plus 1000 Genomes dataset from Alicia Martin et al. seems to have finally de-throned it gencove.com/blog/an-update…

Interested in multi-ancestry polygenic scores? Check out this tour de force led by postdoc, Ying, one of the most knowledgeable researchers on the topic! cell.com/cell-genomics/…

Out today nature – our analysis of the influences of common nuclear DNA variation on mitochondrial DNA copy number and heteroplasmy across >250,000 people across two biobanks! disq.us/t/4ibyjjo

We've updated the public HGDP+1kGP resource and corresponding analyses substantially, now with a new and improved haplotype reference panel!
Credit to this team for finding an earlier issue with v1 phased haplotypes, and see also their recent work: twitter.com/flagelbagel/st…

I’m thrilled to share that I will be starting my lab as an assistant professor CGM at MGH Harvard Medical School and an associate member Broad Institute Stanley Center this fall. I'm very honored and grateful for the opportunity to continue working in this incredible scientific community.

Genetic datasets don’t reflect the diversity of the world’s population. Alicia Martin wants to change that. broad.io/Alicia-Martin-…

Congrats Kristin Tsuo!

Kristin Tsuo making the point that the UK Biobank has the largest genomic dataset from diverse ancestries for many phenotypes - don’t just use the European set in your analyses! #eshg2023
