I want to try something again at #ASHG26: I'll block off some time on Weds/Th/Friday afternoons to meet with trainees who would be interested to chat on any topic. I have done this the last 2 years and it was great to meet a whole bunch of new people, from many countries, at all career stages!

I will be talking about how we are employing the Ancestral Recombination Graph to estimate the Distribution of Fitness Effects, the mutational model of microsatellites and the impact of stabilizing selection.

Now that it's officially out, I have to say I'm quite proud of this work🙂 I got involved in it after a bit of a failure in another proj. Took way longer than it could. Started pregnant, published close to baby's 3rd bday😅 Very grateful for my patient mentors and collaborators doi.org/10.1093/molb...

📣 New preprint out from the lab! “Enhanced power and transferability for genetics-driven metabolomic biomarker discovery in admixed American cohorts” tackles the important problem that many omics studies still have limited representation of admixed populations www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Dangit but sciencing is fun. Discovered a >>10Mb pericentromeric inversion that looks like it adaptively introgressed and is a massive QTL for disease resistance. Preliminary and could be totally wrong, but holy bleep it's been a fun 90 minutes working this out (we had suspected much of this).
