Excited to share a couple of new items (links below):
1. Our work on gene-environment interactions in the UKBiobank is up at the American Journal of Human Genetics
2. Our work on modeling ancient human population size history is up at Molecular Biology and Evolution

🧬 ~ 1 in 500 people have a sex chromosome trisomy (XXY, XYY or XXX) — but most remain undiagnosed.

Y. Wang (Helsinki, Broad) show many shared features in biobanks

Thank you for this Adam. Caroline visited my daughter many times to collect samples for the UKBiobank. She’s an extraordinary woman a shining example of how things could be.

Excited to share UKBBGym at #ASHG25, a new benchmark for variant effect predictors using WGS, proteomics and phenotypes from 500K UKBiobank participants. Stop by for insights on the impact of non-coding variants and how computational scores stack up against exp assays.

中國人真聰明啊。簽了數據安全轉移協議的東西，也敢拿到鹹魚上賣
昨天收到ukbiobank的緊急郵件，說分析平台暫時全部暫停。點進去看到CEO給全部的參加者發了信，數據發生洩漏，正在調查，向他們致歉。我還在猜是什麼情況。結果今天早上看到，是中國研究者在鹹魚上出售UKB數據。

According to the Guardian, a scientific racism group may have been granted individual level accress to the #UKBiobank cohort.

This is not "in the public interest".

We need a serious review of the governance and leadership of UK Biobank.

Why be satisfied with coding variant gene impairments? Check out Eva’s poster to learn how we scale DeepRVAT to the WGS UKBiobank. It’s been great fun being a part of this project!

DeepRVATv2 is in the making! We learn from >60M WGS variants, >90 features, and 500k UKB participants to predict gene impairment beyond coding regions and showcase how DeepRVAT can advance rare disease diagnostics and gene constraint measurement.

vs RAP ukbREST ukbtools

"automatically generates baseline characteristic tables"
"automatically identify the most suitable matched samples"
........

Fascinating🤓
But where's the code???🤒

So Palantir a private US data company has access to NHS England patient data & now 500,000 UKBiobank volunteers’ biomedical data & medical histories is on sale on Chinese websites. Meanwhile at home the UK needs to use all our assets to grow science & science businesses.
