...and if you think my last post was just fear-mongering, consider this: "our increasing understanding of human #DNA could indeed lead to the identification of individual genetic predispositions." #GenomicPrediction #eugenics #IVF #discrimination #Gattaca https://buff.ly/3BMCKkF

"...the advent of lab-grown eggs would allow couples to create embryos on an industrial scale – a thousand, or even a million – from which an elite selection could be handpicked." #eugenics #GenomicPrediction #SlipperySlope #IVF https://buff.ly/3UbzxBu

"Während die #Geburtenraten weltweit im freien Fall sind, wollen einige #SiliconValley Manager wie Elon #Musk den Rückgang stoppen - indem sie so viele #Babys wie möglich bekommen. Die #Pronatalismus-Bewegung, die hauptsächlich von religiösen #Konservativen und #Einwanderungsgegnern getragen wird, basiert auf der Überzeugung, dass niedrigere Geburtenraten zu einer wirtschaftlichen und politischen Katastrophe führen werden."

WTF 👀

1/🧵 Interested about how others are structuring their genomic pipelines post-alignment/variant calling for #GenomicPrediction #GenomicSelection #RiskScoring. Do you maintain individual sample VCFs extracting the genotype for GEBV calculation or merge multiple into a single VCF for analysis? Or perhaps extract genotype calls per sample, storing in a DB, and then pulling from the DB for routine downstream analysis? 🧬🖥️

Registrations are now open for the 4th edition of the #GenomicPrediction course with @OscarGenomics and Evangelina Lopez de Maturana in February.

Oh, and obviously I've done a ton of work on #oats and #GenomeAnnotation and #GeneMapping, and looked at at bunch of different types of data from #PlantGenomes - this ended up in a Nature publication on the oat genome with me as one of the first authors: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04732-y. #GenomicPrediction and #PlantBreeding are things I'm interested in. I've also dabbled in #DeepLearning, mainly #ConvNets for protein contact prediction and image segmentation.
