Do you want to help us restart the Genetic Analysis Workshop (GAW) series? Then fill out the form below!
For an example of what past GAWs were like, see this article in Genetic Epidemiology, our society's official journal: doi.org/10.1002/gepi...

I'm often asked how human genetic data can be used to validate drug targets.
In our new @natcardiovascres.nature.com paper, we provide an end-to-end framework for genetically validating IL-6 inhibition for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease outcomes 🧵

"Dark proteins." Also known as microproteins. There are thousands of them in our cells and we're still struggling to define their function. Succinctly reviewed @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...
‘Dark proteins’ hiding in our cells could hold clues to cancer and other diseases
The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out what they do.

What do GWAS and rare variant burden tests discover, and why?
Do these studies find the most IMPORTANT genes? If not, how DO they rank genes?
Here we present a surprising result: these studies actually test for SPECIFICITY! A 🧵on what this means... (🧪🧬)

Specificity, length, and luck: How genes are prioritized by rare and common variant association studies
Standard genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and rare variant burden tests are essential tools for identifying trait-relevant genes. Although these methods are conceptually similar, we show by anal...
