    I'm excited to share this perspective with , , , and RIKEN colleagues on the high potential for polygenic risk scores to improve health outcomes, but also raise health disparities given vast Eurocentric GWAS biases:

    Sorry for the humblebrag, but proud to announce my 100th paper: a great collaboration with Ray Ming and many others to study the ultra-complex sugarcane genome: . Thanks to all that have helped me along the way & so many fun projects ahead for the next 💯!

    Great insight article by : "Just 5% of the human genome is subject to neutral evolution, but this process remains central to understanding the history of human migration across the Earth."

    JV elicits laughs when he says we must all be wondering how we’re alive with such erroneous cell division in early embryos. How? We think survival of the fittest cell

    Chaotic embryos on PGT-A are likely result of tripolar segregation, where 1 cell segregates into 3, says JV

    I am very proud of this work on detecting a high rate of adaptive introgression between modern humans and Neanderthals associated with viruses led by and a commentary by and Fergal Case 1/n

    Background selection has limited the rate of weak but not strong adaptation in human evolution! Really enjoyed collaborating with Lawrence Uricchio for this project. We also introduce a new MK test that accounts for BGS and segregating adaptive variants.

    Please RT! The Dennis lab @ UC Davis is hiring a talented senior trainee (with M.S. or Ph.D.) to characterize zebrafish knockout mutants of neurodevelopmental disorder genes. A background in zebrafish genetics/development is a plus! If interested, email me: mydennis@ucdavis.edu

    Very true. We do have many public datasets and repositories now. What we are really missing are legions of trained researchers and entrepreneurs to use and convert this data into more inventions and discoveries.
