Addressing biases in precision medicine can bridge the knowledge gap and reduce health disparities. It's time to prioritise inclusive, global approaches in medical genomics! @tarazona_santos @carolina160195 @victor_snail @MarlaMendesA @frsoares7 @OcOutlier @MeddlyS #popgen

Pharmacology-affecting genetic differences between Andeans and Amazonians are larger than those seen between Europeans and East-Asians, highlighting a diversity gap in genetics research. Read more in @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… @tarazona_santos

A new chapter of the Peruvian Genome Project is out! We explored the genetic composition and dynamics of individuals living in urban areas. We analyze genome-wide data from 432 urban individuals across 13 regions of Peru, including 346 newly genotyped! (1/6)

Although autism shows a striking sex bias—4males:1female—most studies still avoid looking at the sex chromosomes. In our new paper in @AJHGNews, we conducted the first X-chromosome-wide association study (XWAS) for ASD! authors.elsevier.com/c/1kICi… Let’s dig in👇

What does it mean to be Latin American? I don't know. The term spans so many cultures and identities that defining a single concept feels impossible. Today, our article on one aspect of Latin American diversity (genetics) was published in Cell Genomics. cell.com/cell-genomics/fullt…

In this article, Borda, Loech, Guo, and Laboulaye et al. developed the Genetics of Latin American Diversity database (GLADdb), which includes 53,000 Latin Americans. With GLADdb, they explored two...

We all recognize the importance of increasing diversity in genetic studies. But what’s the new insight from our latest paper in @CellCellPress (cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…)? Let’s dive into it with this quick thread I did with the help of my friends @ThiagoPeixotoL @victor_snail

Our new work using admixture mapping identified a genetic variant of African origin associated with BMI only in women, demonstrating how admixed populations are a source of new relevant phenotype-associated genetic variants. #LDGH @tarazona_santos http:nature.com/articles/s41366-0…

This is the final result of several years of hard work with @MarlaMendesA , @ialvim, Carolina Silva, and @tarazona_santos. In this article we describe how geography and cultural interactions have affected the genetic make-up of Present-day Native Americans pnas.org/content/early/2020/…

The genetic structure and adaptation of Andean highlanders and Amazonians are influenced by the...

Western South America was one of the worldwide cradles of civilization. The well-known Inca Empire was the tip of the iceberg of an evolutionary pr...
