Human genome has 3⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ bp, only 1⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ are used in the figure! Chromosomes pass down variants as a group to make sure your kid is more related to you. You never know how innovative racists can be when distorting genetics for their evil propaganda. 😡

Most people don't realize that interbreeding with other races means that strangers on the street from your own race are more related to you than your own child. Amplify this, @elonmusk and spread the knowledge!

I am thrilled to have reached this milestone! 🎉I am grateful to my advisor and committee members for their incredible mentorship. My heartfelt thanks also go to my colleagues and friends, who have been an integral part of this amazing journey, providing me support at every step!
Congratulations Dr @yi_ding_ on successfully defending her PhD thesis: "Uncertainty, portability, and ancestry in polygenic scoring".

Many thanks to @TheBoutrosLab, @GeschwindLab and @sr_sankararaman for amazing mentorship!

Check out our latest paper in @Nature! We unveil the fascinating variation of individual polygenic scoring accuracy across the genetic ancestry continuum!
We offer an individual-level interpretation of polygenic score (PGS) transferability across genetic ancestries:

PGS accuracy varies individual-to-individual across the genetic-ancestry continuum, even in populations usually labeled as homogeneous.
