- 📢 Just posted: Our preprint introducing SPC — Spectral Components — is now live on medRxiv! Led by Dr. Ruhollah Shemirani and years in the making, this method offers a robust, scalable way to adjust for recent population structure in genomic analyses. 🔗 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/9
- Population structure is a major confounder in GWAS and heritability estimation. Principal Components (PCs) have been the default — but they fall short for recent, non-linear, fine-scale structure, especially in rare variant analyses. 2/9
- Very enjoyable visit to the Broad Clinical Lab in Burlington yesterday and a tour of their world class sequencing and omics facility 🧬. Really impressive. And some really beautiful art work too… Thanks @heidirehm.bsky.social and Niall Lennon for hosting. #BlueSkyDrive #Broadies
