Did you have fevers after your vaccine shot? This GWAS study examined the pharmacology/genetic link of covid vaccine side effect responses (NOT efficacy) — a beautiful, clean peak at HLA!
7/
GWAS on common SNPs (using Regenie) in this case-control study identified a clear signal in the HLA region.
Then a HLA-WAS identified HLA-A*03:01 as the top HLA allele hit.

I have benefited a lot from Rahul’s single cell genomics day symposiums in the past years — now proud to be speaking w my amazing colleagues this March! Featuring analytical and experimental fronts of genomic research and it is FREE! More info ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Interested in single cell genomics but need help getting started? Check out my lab's Single Cell Genomics Day on March 26. Talks will feature recent exciting computational and experimental advances and will be livestreamed at . Please RT/spread the word!

To me, the word FREE FOOD whispers magic even today - embarrassingly. Now I see this trait is horizontally transferred to members in the lab - our MSTP rotation student

Socially distanced picnic at the esplanade as
@RockefellerUniv
reunion! We started together in 2010 as a small class of ~17, and almost half are now in Boston. Not to brag but isn’t this a good looking group ❤️ can’t believe it’s been 10 years 😱

Heroic effort and landmark piece by *another* Xin Jin, not me! Anecdote: in grad schools we were across the street (MSK and Rockefeller) and in postdoc we worked in the same building—making troubles for university admins since 2010
Inspired by the awsome paper from

in this week

The second lab retreat at the Santa Ysabel Valley was a blast! We discussed science with a lake view, got creative playing with clays, and went on a few local hikes 🤩 Loved spending time with these fun and talented people in and outside of the lab!

Our legendary Hollis Cline giving a fantastic Frontrow lecture! This is the classic paper by Elly Nedivi and Holly Cline in 1998, combining genetics and physiology in very early days, led to identification of molecules promoting dendritic plasticity in developing tadpoles in vivo
