We are hosting the South of England Genetic Epidemiology Group (SEGEG) meeting at the University of Exeter on July 1st! Registration is free and now open - forms.office.com/e/tengc4eKLk
Importantly, there was networking, an ECR poster session, lots of questions and a panel on new beginnings in careers in human genetics. If you're a researcher working in human genetics in London or the surrounding areas, email us at [email protected] to join!
We heard excellent talks from Naomi Wray, Michael Simpson, Peter Visscher, Raghib Ali & Oliver Pain
We loved seeing everyone at Monday's science and new beginnings London Genetics Network event @UniOfSurrey Huge thanks to the speakers, poster presenters and all our attendees , and our funding as a SIG from @GenSocUK
Towards the end of the amazing meeting, we have a panel discussion session to discuss “New Beginnings” - theme of the day! #LGN2024
Representativeness is another key aim in Our Future Health - achieved by diverse recruitment settings across the UK. Data access available by registration / request. #LGN2024
Huge shoutout to funders and supports that make this powerful resource available!
Next up we have Prof Raghib Ali @drraghibali ‘s talk on Our Future Health. #LGN2024
Summary of Prof Visscher’s talk!
Linkage signals can be predicted from GWAS results, and reduced when adjusting for polygenic scores. These signals, and genetic variance not explained by GWAS are also expected to be polygenic. #LGN2024
After a refreshing break (and brilliant ECR poster sessions!), we kick off the 2nd part of the day with Prof Peter Visscher’s talk on “Reconciling linkage and association studies of complex traits”. #LGN2024
