Here’s an example of what I’m talking about from Frank Harrell’s otherwise excellent critique of bad biomarker analysis [fharrell.com/post/badb/]. This gets GWAS completely wrong. Genome-wide significance is not about "picking winners" or "ranking" the losers.

😮 This is so cool: “RNA polymerase II, which is responsible for mRNA transcription in eukaryotes, is also derived from the ancestors of modern giant viruses. In total, our results support a model of eukaryogenesis in which complex cells emerged from a genomic chimera of Asgard…
In UK Biobank, individuals who had high polygenic score for educational attainment but performed poorly in fluid intelligence test and/or had poor education ('deviators') were more likely to carry neurodevelopmental disorder-related rare variants. Great demonstration of liability…
I'm a #ColumbiaUniversity faculty member,. I join many of my colleagues in saying, loud and clear, that it was wrong to suspend peacefully protesting students, and wrong to call in the NYPD. Who disrupted education on campus last Thursday? The university's president.

Our decade-long search for the genetic traces of the earliest Indo-Europeans has culminated in the two preprints we are releasing today! With Nick Patterson, David Anthony, and 91 co-authors, on "The Genetic Origin of the Indo-Europeans" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We engineered hyper-migration into CART cells to dramatically enhance their infiltration into solid tumors. We tested this strategy for ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancer. The contrast with control CAR T cells is ....you decide. More here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I wouldn’t make the conclusions people are making… 🤷🏽♂️ pretty clear genetic association outperforms transcriptomics-based associations/discovery. If anything, the differences are further accentuated as one goes later in the clinical development process…
