Happy to see our method for predicting trans-eQTLs published at @GenomeBiology. Demonstrated on #eQTL data from @GTExPortal. Fun working with @francosimonetti, @SoedingL, @Raktim7879, @KaphleAnubhav and others. Thread for a quick overview. \1

Tejaas, from @banskt, @francosimonetti, @SoedingL and co, is a method for predicting trans-eQTLs. Rather than regressing expression level on SNP minor allele count, it performs multiple regression of the SNP on all genes jointly. Demonstrated on GTEx data genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Excellent initiative from my friend JB (Jean Bosco)! He grew up in Rwanda and now tries to help the community in as many ways as he can. Help JB reach his goal. gf.me/u/y4ad5q

Very happy and proud to present: The GTEx papers. This set of 15 papers published today describes the final phase of this 10-year effort, providing the genomics community an atlas of genetic regulatory variants and a deep dive into the biology behind it. sciencemag.org/collections/ge…

I literally ignored the warning. Shocked to know about the unfolding of events, to say the least.

If you haven't been on Science Twitter for the last 24h, stop, don't read further, close the app and go do something else. You'll thank me later.

This is gold. I belong to the IJALM cult. 😀

Today, we’re going to play a game I’m calling “IT’S JUST A LINEAR MODEL” (IJALM). It works like this: I name a model for a quantitative response Y, and then you guess whether or not IJALM. 1/
