🧵1/5 🧬New paper out!
We present the first whole-genome data for the giant forest hog, #Hylochoerus #meinertzhageni (GFH), filling a major gap in our understanding of African #suid #evolution.

Bedre og mere præcis behandling af diabetes i Grønland - hør hvordan arbejde fra min PhD nu bruges i klinikken og meget mere.
I morgen udgives podcasten 'Diabetesforskerne' som produceres af Steno Diabetes Centre. Jeg har fornøjelsen af at fortælle om ... 1/2🧵
Final PhD-paper is now published in Bioinformatics. If you plan to genotype structural variants, then make sure to read our paper first. You will get fewer errors in your genotype calls and better genotype quality: academic.oup.com/bioinformat…

Thought long-read sequencing had “solved” structural variant genotyping? We did. Turns out many SVs still have high genotype error rates with current tools. Our new method SVUPP uses long-read pre-phasing to reduce errors and improve genotype quality

We sequenced and analyzed the world's rarest large mammal, the #saola. That turned into a cool paper substantially increasing what we know about this elusive animal, its evolutionary history, population structure, and long-term decline.

The Greenlandic population offers significant potential for precision medicine. The largest analysis of its kind is now in @Nature. A big thank you to all participants in the health surveys throughout the last 25 years 🙏 nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 🧵1/6

Including under-represented groups in population genomics data could reduce inequalities in genetics-based clinical care and personalized medicine

What started as a small side-project ended up being the main project of my PhD and is now published in @nature.com 🙏

Could not be more delighted to present our work investigating how over 220,000 complex and molecular trait-associated genetic variants affect transcriptional regulation using massively parallel reporter assays!

New paper from our group, led by @renzobalb, @LauraDBertola and @AnnaBruniche, and with multiple collaborators!
"African bushpigs exhibit porous species boundaries and appeared in Madagascar concurrently with human arrival" 🐖🧬🌍⛵️
To start the new year off well, we got another paper published! 🎉🎉🎉
We explore the evolutionary history of African bushpigs and their mysterious presence on Madagascar. The study was a team effort, with multiple collaborators, and co-led by @renzobalb, @AnnaBruniche and me. 🧵

Happy to share a new preprint from the lab on ARGs, selection, and ancient DNA. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We present CLUES2, a full-likelihood method that extends the work of Stern et al. 2019. Improvements include (1) the ability to use ARGs on ancient samples, allowing for 1/n

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.
