We integrate population genetics, functional genomics & targeted ML to uncover 100s of TF-linked epistatic interactions across 768 traits in UK Biobank. Epistasis, informed by mechanism, empowered by robust stat/ML, is detectable & widespread. doi.org/10.1101/2025... (1/n)

New course “EMBO Causality in Biomedicine”: We have organised the first EMBO course in *causal* stats/ML methods for quantitative biomedicine. @sjoerdvbeentjes.bsky.social @nimahejazi.org @pablormier.bsky.social @DariaSokolova @CarolineUhler
Very much looking forward to teaching and discussing!
