    Our first study from the SCALLOP consortium is now out. The study investigated data from the @OlinkProteomics CVD-I panel in 30,931 individuals across 14 studies and found 451 loci for 85 plasma proteins: i.e. a really big proteomics-genetics study nature.com/articles/s4225โ€ฆ

    Very happy that our paper on calculations and interpretations of polygenic risk scores (PRS) from direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetics is now published (frontiersin.org/articles/10.33โ€ฆ). A big thanks to my co-authors: @ollie_pain, Andrรฉs Ingason, @thomas_werge, @cathrynlewis, @J9_Austin

    Two recent cool papers I wanted to share. 1: A tool for translating polygenic scores onto the absolute scale using summary statistics: This work by @ollie_pain and @stats_bonkers and others and it does exactly what the title says, with a web-app even. Why is this important?

    Thanks for a great #WCPG2018 conference, good luck at #ASHG2018 - I had something I wanted to say btw: I wrote a book about personal genetics, "understand your DNA - a guide". It is now available for pre-sale in English: amazon.co.uk/Understand-Youโ€ฆ

    Very proud of this update! 800+ diseases and traits, monogenic variants and polygenic calculations, integrated in a beautifully comprehensive dashboard. A lot of hard work went into this.

    My deepest respect for the pioneering work you did for the genetics industry. Easy access to DNA data always was underrated in our field and 23andme was the first mover in providing that.
