Sharing our latest work, where we explored the role of non-coding variants in OCD. A great work by Drs. Seulgi Jung and Madison Caballero Rare Genetic Variants in Antisense Long Non-coding RNAs Contribute to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Rare Genetic Variants in Antisense Long Non-coding RNAs Contribute to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent neuropsychiatric disorder with an incompletely characterized genetic basis, hindering targeted treatment approaches. Using whole-genome sequencing...

Starting off the new year with a new paper! 🎆📰 Check out @mauer_jh 's fantastic manuscript evaluating features influencing the accuracy of local ancestry inference in admixed populations. Tweetorial posted previously for the preprint below, and PDF at: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kN7d…
Elizabeth Atkinson@egatkinson28 Aug 2024
I am delighted to announce that @mauer_jh’s first paper with me is up on biorxiv! Their work thoroughly evaluates features affecting local ancestry inference across many (I mean many) simulated demographic and data models to advise on best practices.
