I am permanently moving over and abandoning this profile, for all the known reasons. See you on the other side, where the sky is still blue! 🦋 @biotobi.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/biotobi.bsk…

We are advertizing a #PhD position in our lab to study evolutionary genetics of adaptive immunity in humans and/or fish. We use computational and molecular approaches. Topic open, to be matched with student's interest/skills. Come join us! #MHC #HLA #TCR uni-hamburg.de/en/stellenang…

Excited to be part of this huge effort with @evotobi and @MeyerBritta. Here we led annotation of MHC I/II diploid haplotypes of six ape species. This is a huge advance for primate immunogenomics! I am currently adopting some of this for marmosets. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Big congrats to Synne Arstad Bjørnestad defending her PhD thesis yesterday 🙌🙌 think we have come a little closer in understanding the immune function in Atlantic cod 🐟 and thanks to the two opponents for the nice discussions @evotobi and Ilana Berlin 🤗🤗

Very proud to see @the_MRCA defend his #PhD thesis on #HLA immune gene diversity and evolution in modern and ancient human populations! I'm biased, but I do think it's very exciting work! Looking forward to see also his last two chapters out soon! @MPI_EvolBio @UHHBio

Important analysis of the underrepresentation of Arabs in genome-wide association studies. A few comments. 1. We expect the situation to somewhat improve, at least for Arab Israelis, with the developing Israeli national biobank project. ->

It's here~! Just in time for #ASHG23. gnomAD v4: publicly available data from >800k sequenced individuals on GRCh38.
The #gnomAD team is proud to announce the release of gnomAD v4! The v4 dataset includes 730,947 exomes & 76,215 genomes, which is ~5x larger than the v2 & v3 releases combined, & includes nearly 120K indivs of non-European genetic ancestry broad.io/gnomad_v4 #ASHG23 (1/11)
