@KirkegaardEmil If they are using SNPs, why do they use only 3k whole- instead of a much larger dataset?

@gwern My guess is that they did not have access to the full dataset. It's another closed-data bank. http://www.uk10k.org/data.html -
@KirkegaardEmil Could be. Let's hope then that@uk_biobank picks this up and performs an extremely well-powered extension. -
@StuartJRitchie do you still have access to UK biobank data?@gwern@uk_biobank -
@KirkegaardEmil@gwern@uk_biobank Yes but for specific approved projects. For new ones you have to put in a new application. -
@StuartJRitchie I can't apply, but perhaps you know which of your colleagues we should ask?@gwern@uk_biobank -
@KirkegaardEmil@gwern@uk_biobank Anyone at a Uni could apply, I think! -
@StuartJRitchie@KirkegaardEmil@gwern any bona fide researcher from industry/ academia can apply for health research in the public interest - 4 more replies

@KirkegaardEmil check for neutrality? genes for X are all conserved but we observe population differences so it is solely due to culture?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
