Had a great time working on this project - so thrilled to see this work finally out now!!
Very excited to share our preprint led by M. Levin @skoyama.bsky.social J. Woerner & with S. Damrauer assessing genome-wide pleiotropy of >1,000 clinical traits across ~1.7M individuals with nearly 30K locus-trait associations!

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

Apologies for this long post I put together to explain to non-scientists the impact of NIH cuts: Last night, an “atomic bomb” was dropped on the biomedical science community. We were informed that effective immediately, indirect costs on NIH grants (both current and future) would be fixed at 15%.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

Excellent work by my colleague at @pennmedicine.bsky.social! Led by Scott Damrauer, @mglevin.bsky.social @sabramowitz.bsky.social congratulations to the whole team!
Despite similar performance at the population level, different coronary heart disease polygenic risk scores produced highly variable individual-level risk estimates. #AHA24
