I have been amazed that my advisors can spot the tiniest extra space between two words in the doc. Now I can see it too, like right there lol.

Super excited to share my latest preprint with @klohmueller.bsky.social! Here we leverage the unique signature that recessive deleterious variants can lead to an increase in archaic ancestry to tackle a classic question - the dominance distribution on the human genome www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our new paper is out today in AJHG! We applied a "footprinting" algorithm to ATAC-seq data from 170 livers to find non-coding variants associated with TF binding. We show that these "footprint QTLs" (#fpQTLs) can fine-map GWAS loci at base-pair resolution. www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...
