Each July, I run a 5ECTS course on methods for Analysing GWAS Data, as part of AU Summer University. All are welcome to attend (i.e., PhD, MSC and postdocs). The first application deadline is 18th March.

RT @QGG_AU: Are you our new postdoc(s)? 👀 We have up to two postdoc positions available in Method development in #human #Statistical #Gene…

LDAK-PBAT - new tool for pathway analysis using GWAS summary statistics. Preprint at @btakiy

I am advertising for a postdoc in statistical genetics (Aarhus University). Application deadline is 31st January. The position is linked to the ERC-funded project on statistical methods for classifying diseases. Please see for more details.

@chopraamhk Thanks Mehak for coming, and I appreciated the detailed questions. Always welcome to get in touch in future. Doug

@adamauton Thanks for suggestion. Sorry if that was a silly omission. I have now added the GPU license from - does that sound reasonable?

@SashaGusevPosts Thanks, yes, it surprised us as well. Would be interested to "turn the genome around" and repeat. My guess is the estimated effect sizes would be a bit different, but the resulting PRS would be very similar (so no effect on power of KVIK).

@gushamilton Haha, shows how unpopular we are :)

@SashaGusevPosts Saying this, long-range LD can reduce power, because it violates the leave-one-out-assumption (that chromosomes are unlinked).

Finally, we have tried to make LDAK-KVIK easy to use. The simplest application requires only two commands (see picture), while there is detailed documentation at
