We are hiring! Looking for two postdocs. Topics: a) ancestry informed polygenic scores for mixed ancestry individuals and b) integrating polygenic risk models with clinically actionable rare variants for comprehensive disease risk assessment.

"While much of Europe is obsessing over this year’s European Football Championships, many Estonians — whose team didn’t qualify — are absorbed in their own genomes."
And they have pretty awesome genomes, I must say!

Excited to share our latest preprint about Italian Iron Age.
Our main findings in brief:
🌊Adriatic Sea was as corridor, Apennines a barrier.
🌍People moved from different regions, in a "cosmopolitan society.
Congrats to @FraRavasini as first author! 🎉

An interesting preprint from the Estonian biobank.
Across 180k genotyped Estonians, the authors looked at how genetic structure and polygenic scores for education were shaped by migration to Estonia's big cities.

Our review on deep generative models for genomics with @florajay_ is now published in @AnnualReviews. We tried to write a smooth entry into these new approaches while covering as many important aspects as possible. Hope you enjoy the read.

Last week to submit abstracts to #ISBA10 has started!
I'm personally especially looking forward to more selection studies being sent in!
(No further extensions!)

There’s an increasing amount of articles in Western media speculating about Russia’s collapse and disintegration. Having contributed to this trend myself, I think some points are worth clarifying.
