@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 -
Yes, but I'm in neither category and this isn't health research, but human evol. genetics.

I think the last few days have shown you can't be trusted with data.
