This is the last week to take our survey! If you're an early career researcher in human genetics and have some time, please consider taking our survey on how you use population descriptors 😇
It's a study run by trainees with the goal of improving trainee research quality!

📢 Just posted: Our preprint introducing SPC — Spectral Components — is now live on medRxiv!
Led by Dr. Ruhollah Shemirani and years in the making, this method offers a robust, scalable way to adjust for recent population structure in genomic analyses.

SPC: a SPectral Component approach to address recent population structure in genomic analysis
Population structure is a well-known confounder in statistical genetics, particularly in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), where it can lead to inflated test statistics and spurious associations...
