Kia ora e hoa! What is this bug (now in a chrysalis) eating and making holes in my viburnum?

Translating GWAS loci is still a complex process, most hits have large amounts of LD and we need to test putative causal variants in tissue/cell-specific contexts. Farrow et al. take the MPRA approach to assigning function to Parkinson loci. Nice work @SophieFarrow2

Replying to @SophieFarrow2
In agreement with previous studies, the variants that we identified to be acting as regulators (i.e., enhancers) were not typically the tag GWAS variant, indicating the need for deeper exploration of these loci.

David needs a lesson in equity vs equality!

New Zealanders elected a government that will treat people equally, regardless of their race. The sooner the Māori Party comes to terms with that – and start providing solutions for Māori instead of divisive theatrics – the better.

Sounds like a super cool project!!!

We have a PhD project available as part of our new @MarsdenFund grant, using zebrafish as a model to explore genetic variants in brain development. Please share! @GeneticsOtago @otago @JuliaHorsfield @OtagoBiochemist @ray_sankalita @NclSteph findaphd.com/phds/project/ex…
