First time on Bsky and first big announcement!
I am excited to announce that our new study explaining the missing heritability of many phenotypes using WGS data from ~347,000 UK Biobank participants has just been published in @Nature.
Our manuscript is here: www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Estimation and mapping of the missing heritability of human phenotypes - Nature
WGS data were used from 347,630 individuals with European ancestry in the UK Biobank to obtain high-precision estimates of coding and non-coding rare variant heritability for 34 co...

After 4 fantastic years of research, together with @caina89.bsky.social & Matthias Heinig, I’m thrilled to share the first tissue specific map of apparent mtDNA heteroplasmy in humans and their relationships with donor age and mtDNA gene expr across 49 tissues!
