LEAVING ACADEMIA
Although I did not manage to secure the funding needed to establish my own research group, I am grateful for what I’ve learned in academia.
*I am now beginning a new chapter*, joining a very early startup in France working on detecting cancer from DNA circulating in the blood.

I probably won't have time to make a video out of this.
But the materials are available online, and should be pretty self-explanatory.
Hope this is useful to some people.

Next week, I'm teaching a **Statistical Human Genetics course using R**; would be of interest if I try to record it to make it available as a Youtube video?

👀 I still see many papers using the 1000G data to infer ancestry proportions of individuals in their respective studies.
❌ But I argue that the 1000G is not doing a very good job at covering well the worldwide populations.

Very interesting work by Tade Souaiaia et al on the non-polygenic architecture of the extremes of complex traits.
For many traits, polygenic scores show "regression to the mean" around the tails, as extreme traits are mostly due to rare alleles.
