Your DNA is a fundamental part of who you are. Unless you have an identical twin (and possibly not even then), it is incredibly unlikely that anyone else has, or will ever have, the same DNA sequence as you. As such, when you provide your DNA for research, or to…
Joni Coleman tackles the complex subject of delivering transparent, robust science to all – and almost manages not to talk about Twitter.
Last time out, I discussed options for replicating findings from a genome-wide association study when no appropriate cohort exists for replication. Perhaps the most effective solution was time – wait for more samples, get more power and prove those pesky doubters wrong. As all good sci-fi fans know (and as…
Replication is the lifeblood of science – but how do you replicate when your cohort is the biggest available? EDiT Lab Associate Member and genomics crank-turner postdoc extraordinaire Joni gives three ways how.
I have a mild obsession (well, actually I have several, but only one is pertinent to this piece). Most of us have a thing we spend too much time on given its relative importance – computer games, knitting, running, animal species where the genus and the species are the same…
The American Journal of Medical Genetics has dedicated its March issue to the study of anxiety, including a contribution from our own lab! Here, I summarise some of the exciting developments it describes.
Recently, I completed my PhD studies in the EDIT lab, wrote my thesis, had my viva, and entered into a transcendental state of holistic wellbeing (or three of those four). Now I’m coming to terms with life in the real world*
Recently, I completed my PhD studies in the EDIT lab, wrote my thesis, and finished reading all the papers in that pile on my desk (or two of those three). Here I describe my work on the effect of the genome on body mass index and its relationship with our…
Recently, I completed my PhD studies in the EDIT lab, wrote my thesis, and retired to a life of luxury and leisure (or two of those three). Across the past four years I have become interested in how now-standard methods in genomics (the study of genetics across the genome) can…
