UK Biobank has a great model for sharing data. Straightforward to request access and start collaborating with other human geneticists. @uk_biobank #ASHG18
Ben Neale @bmneale on Round 2 of @uk_biobank GWAS: Added new imputed data, chrX variants, and VEP missense and PTVs with MAF > 1e-6; net 3M more variants. Also ran sex-specific GWAS. Looking forward to updating Open Targets Genetics with this release! #ASHG18

All results are available to download for free from his lab website!

Sex differences in: expression, splicing, interaction cOs-QTLs, allele-specific expression bias
Data from GTEx @GTExPortal
Work with @princyparsana @alexisjbattle among others #ASHG18
Other (morning)
Tissue cell type composition in Gtex changes with age, sometimes in a sex-specific manner #ASHG18

Now: @julirsch does finemapping to find specific causal variants associated with blood cell traits. 230 genes contain fine-mapped coding variants #ASHG18
— Art Wuster (@artwuster) October 19, 2018
M Snyder: Under GTEX consortium, the proteomics project mapped 32 normal human tissues, together have identified ~16k proteins from 14K genes. #ASHG18 #ASHG2018

Afternoon
I like Cecelia Lundgrenβs emphasis on #mutualcontract of mentoring. Altshuler - βdonβt bring the problem, bring the solution. Nice contrast to the typical βsolve important problemβ advice (which is also true).#ASHG18
— Sharon Plon (@splon) October 19, 2018
Cecilia Lundgren - itβs not βwork-lifeβ balance it is βwork-homeβ balance as work is part of our lives! Love that!! She doesnβt email students over week-ends. She takes vacation. #ashg18
— Sharon Plon (@splon) October 19, 2018
CL: Science should embrace everyone, regardless of color, sexual orientation, religion, culture, etc. Diversity matters. A key fundamental part of genetics. [this was the best award recipient talk ever] #ASHG18
— Michael Hoffman @michaelhoffman.bsky.social (@michaelhoffman) October 19, 2018
Really inspiring talk from Cecilia Lindgren accepting this yearβs #ASHG18 Mentorship Award highlighting diversity, work-life balance, value of finding the best work environment for you. Science does not see sex, race, color #diversitymatters
— Claudia Gonzaga-Jauregui (@cgonzagaj) October 19, 2018
As a woman scientist itβs extremely inspiring to see women role models like this yearβs #ASHG18 awardees @ceclindgren & Mary-Claire King and others like @splon @NancyGenetics share their stories, their wisdom, and their opinions #RepresentationMatters
— Claudia Gonzaga-Jauregui (@cgonzagaj) October 19, 2018
A moving acceptance speech by @ceclindgren on her #ASHG18 Mentorship award calling for inclusion, diversity, and assertiveness rather than aggression. Congrats! pic.twitter.com/3HQ5kle7Hu

CL: Advice:
— Michael Hoffman @michaelhoffman.bsky.social (@michaelhoffman) October 19, 2018
- Lean in/hang on step up
- Be positive, persistent, polite
- Assertiveness β aggression
- Choose a work environment supportive of you
- Choose a mentor supportive of you
- Choose a mentor that you can buy into and respect #ASHG18
Misc
Still some people seams to have difficulties understanding no pictures means no pictures. Lady beside me has taken already 2 pictures of the slides and we are not even at the middle of the talk #ASHG18 https://t.co/8J7eggY0Sn

I can't attend the #ASHG18 Membership Forum. If you can, please propose that @GeneticsSociety appoint an awards nomination committee who will solicit or write nominations for worthy and overlooked members of our community. @nelsondl @NancyGenetics @splon
— Michael Hoffman @michaelhoffman.bsky.social (@michaelhoffman) October 19, 2018
.@GeneticsSociety enjoy good locally roasted #coffee and cute #cats as part of your #ashg18 experience. We're a five minute walk from @sdconventionctr (cross Harbor at 1st, right on Island, walk to 3rd). Your admission includes a food or drink item. pic.twitter.com/tQZR0k8SB1

Everyone should stop by @dnanexus booth to see the virtual reality system @marianattestad and her group has implemented. Itβs stunning. They had to wrestle the headset away from me. #ASHG18
— Mark T. W. Ebbert (@bioinfo_mark) October 19, 2018
This is my personal account, if you've wondered who is doing all these tweets. Thanks again, Mary-Claire. #ASHG18 https://t.co/szITSzqKlK
