Ancient genomics and the origin, dispersal, and development of domestic sheep
The origins and prehistory of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are incompletely understood; to address this, we generated data from 118 ancient genomes spanning 12,000 years sampled from across Eurasia. Ge...

Lots of new contributions to the list of awesome statistical genetics, tools, contribute yours either through commenting or ideally through GitHub! In the new year I will write a tutorial/test scripts for the tools, I'll do one tutorial for each like.
🚨 This will become a curated list of awesome tools for complex trait genetics, **add yours**! it may become a review in which case those who contribute are invited as co-authors.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.
Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.
Remember them. And make the world remember them.
