Have we got a philosophical transaction for you! https://t.co/ZTUcJPSNsL We implemented an embedding algorithm (similar to t-SNE, PCA, UMAP etc) to work with genetic data. You can...
Finally out! Modelling enhancer mutations causing pancreas agenesis showed that this enhancer has a lead function that renders it vulnerable to loss of function It also shed light...
DNA admixture analysis of Indian Punjabi Upper Caste. It seems that many UC Punjabis from India can be modelled as a pure mix of a Steppe Andronovo like population + Indus Valley w...
Notice something here. Of the same panel run for the US-Europe-World - the taper slope for both W-A-D and BA.X courses of Covid exhibit exactly the same bifurcation, scales & metri...

Human genetics should move away from using genetic ancestry group labels as sample descriptors (e.g. "European ancestry"), and towards using more readily interpretable statements a...
1. Today our paper “How did Mendel arrive at his discoveries?” came out in @NatureGenetics. Why did nobody in the 19th century do what #Mendel did? We, Peter van Dijk @KeyGeneInfo,...
The good news: Indians are genetically a pretty tall race, and should probably jump to an average height of 5'9-5'11 in a few generations (most studies show the avg is 5'9-5'10 in...

They’re coming for behavioral genetics. But honestly, the field deserves it for disavowing any policy implications of its work, which could have gotten it some defenders and allies...
Race differences in ball size is a fascinating topic. Why are European balls so big? They are much larger than African and East Asian ones. That's an unusual deviation from the usu...
