This paper helps calm my nagging worry that maybe we've all been wrong about genetics and drug success. By looking at a completely new dimension of drug success/failure, they reaffirm the effect we have seen using target-indication pair progression. nature.com/articles/s4158…
I see that the internet is loving this new paper, but has the internet read the wonderful opinion on it by my former postdoc Emily King? lnkd.in/gdtfTFcs

I'm excited to see the work from @jkpritch's former students and grand-students at the reunion symposium! Great talk from @HannahMoots on ancestry and relatedness of ancient Mediterranean civilization kicks it off.
How many SNPs do you need to estimate colocalization probabilities? One! Another great paper from Emily King's postdoc. bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
I was happy to contribute to this paper with my former postdoc Minal. She used text mining and some serious brute force to try to understand how our community is approaching GWAS fine mapping. Your feed back is welcome! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
It's great to see the NCAA's enthusiasm for coalescent theory.
I'm looking to hire in the Computational Genomics - "Special Projects" group at AbbVie! The group addresses an an exciting and always changing set of projects and problems. Come join us! careers.abbvie.com/abbvie/jobs/21… @bioinfo44
Our paper on using human genetics to predict drug program success is out! eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2… journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…
Another one in the GTEx saga "PhenomeXcan: Mapping the genome to the phenome through the transcriptome" led by @miltondp and Sheila Padma Rajagopal. Scale-up made possible by fastENLOC development by @WenXqwen. doi.org/10.1101/833210
This is a titanic effort using GTEx data to map genome-wide gene expression in 49 tissues to 4,091 human traits. Incredible resource for precision medicine and drug target discovery. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Excited to share our latest work on probabilistic TWAS (PTWAS) and multi-tissue TWAS analysis utilizing GTEx v8 data biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Great collaboration with @yuhua_z, Corbin Quick, Alvaro Barbeira, @hakyim, @fluca2406, and @rogerpique. Comments are welcome! 1/n
