Po-Ru Loh has been awarded the International Society for Computational Biology's Overton Prize for outstanding accomplishment by an early to mid-career scientist in the field of computational biology. A big thank-you to all of the mentors, collaborators, and trainees who contributed to the work...

Maxwell Sherman's paper on modeling somatic mutation rates to uncover cancer drivers ( Sherman*, Yaari*, Priebe* et al. 2022 Nat Biotech) is now published -- congratulations, Max! This work, a collaboration with Bonnie Berger's group at MIT, developed a deep-learning model to predict cancer-specific...

We're very excited to share our latest work at ASHG this October! Ronen Mukamel and Margaux Hujoel will present platform talks describing strong associations of structural variants with heritable traits and diseases that were revealed by statistical haplotype-sharing models. Ronen and Margaux were...

At the 2022 Probabilistic Modeling in Genomics (ProbGen) conference, Margaux Hujoel will be presenting her work on haplotype-informed CNV detection and subsequent association and fine-mapping analysis in UK Biobank: "Influences of rare copy number variation on human complex traits" (Mon Mar 28).

Alison Barton's paper on mitigated phenotypes observed in carriers of recessive disease variants ( Barton et al. 2022 AJHG) is now published -- congratulations, Alison! This work leveraged whole-exome sequencing together with imputation in UK Biobank to identify carrier effects of rare variants...
