Our new contribution to the quest to find causal GWAS genes! Sam Ghatan from my lab at @nygenome.org led a systematic comparison of eQTLs and CRISPRi+scRNA-seq screens. TL;DR: they provide highly complementary insights, with ortogonal pros and cons. 🧵👇

Spatial transcriptomics and genetically implicated genes identify putative causal tissue structures for complex traits Spatially resolved transcriptomics is transforming our understanding of cellular and molecular diversity of tissues. Here, to identify tissue structures that are enriched for putatively causal disease...

New preprint! My (now former) postdoc @kvastad.bsky.social led this integration of GWAS and spatial transcriptomics (ST) data to identify tissue structures with enrichment of disease-implicated genes = likely causal drivers of disease biology.

How population stratification led to a decade of sensationally false genetic findings Stratification makes environments look like genes

I wrote about how population stratification in genetic analyses led to a decade of false findings and almost certainly continues to bias emerging results. But we are starting to have statistical tools to sniff it out. A 🧵:

The Imperialism Has no Clothes JD Vance in Greenland

This, from Timothy Snyder, is definitive, on Greenland open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

🚨 BREAKING: Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has lashed out at the Trump administration for putting “unacceptable pressure” on Greenland, as she slammed US Second Lady Usha Vance's upcoming visit to the Danish territory.

Greenland to Trump: No, we didn't invite you A delegation that includes second lady Usha Vance is slated to arrive on the island on Thursday.

🇬🇱 Trump says “officials” in Greenland invited an American delegation, including Second Lady Usha Vance, to visit the island this Thursday.

But a Greenlandic MP told POLITICO that’s “not true” — and said a protest is planned for Vance’s arrival 👇 www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

A look back on the BRAIN Initiative in 2024 (and what’s coming in 2025!) - The BRAIN Initiative Alliance In a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation, 2024 was marked by numerous partnerships, events, developments, and accomplishments for The BRAIN Initiative®. We are reflecting on 10 year...

Over 10 years after its founding, the BRAIN Initiative program has led to incredible leaps in our understanding of the brain.
