New preprint alert: we use sign errors as a test of how well TWAS works.
Very worryingly we find that TWAS gets the sign wrong around 1/3 of the time (compared to 50% for pure guessing). You can read more about our analysis here, and what we think is going on 👇

How well does TWAS estimate a gene’s direction of effect on a trait? We think of this as an important stress-test for the accuracy of TWAS.
In a new pre-print with @PGerlach98341, Jeff Spence, and @jkpritch, we find that TWAS gets the sign wrong around 20-30% of the time!

I'm delighted to announce our new preprint on genome-scale perturb-seq in CD4 T cells. We learned general lessons about the power of perturb-seq, and specific lessons in T cell biology
Led by amazing postdocs Ronghui Zhu and Emma Dann with my wonderful collaborator Alex Marson

Our latest preprint revisits the classic model of mutation-selection balance. Do human recessive genes fit Haldane's 100-year old model?
This work is by the wonderful Jon Judd, and co-mentored by Jeff Spence.

@jkpritch Wow. I'm really looking forward to reading this. Thanks for the effort you put into this. There has been a need for a text book like this one.

... including especially @molly_przew and @DocEdge85 who both heroically read this twice and gave me many helpful comments; also our many close collaborators and lab members who have been wonderful partners in science, and who have also taught me much over the years.

and Part 4 will cover the genetic basis of trait variation. This will have some basic chapters for students on GWAS, etc, but I also plan to emphasize the links between human popgen and statgen, and argue that neither can be understood without the other. https://t.co/qaNHPvSWc6

I have many many people I could thank, but I'll limit this to @Anna_DiRienzo (this is motivated in part by a course that we co-taught from 2001-2013); @molly_przew from whom I have learned so much on all these topics; also many people who commented on earlier drafts...

Part 3 of the book focuses on human history. I've already written rough drafts of these chapters, so I expect to release them in the coming months. https://t.co/867qcReH7A

Part 2 of the book tackles human population genetics. Some themes are familiar from other popgen texts, but I try to focus on building intuition and human examples in many cases. Here's a bit about the difference between forward-in-time and backward-in-time models: https://t.co/T

Part 1 of the book includes an overview of human genomics; an introduction to human variation; modern DNA sequencing; and an introduction to human mutation. My undergrads are reading the variation chapter for tomorrow's lecture: https://t.co/o5OL20WOW4

The book aims to provide a unified view of human variation, population genetics, human history and trait genetics / GWAS
I wrote this partly because I find a lack of suitable readings for teaching, and partly to connect the popgen and statgen world views in an accessible format
