Had a fantastic time teaching GWAS Day at ISG 2026! We asked participants which trait they'd most want to do a GWAS on (they got bonus points if it wasn't subjected to a GWAS yet). Here are their answers. What would yours be?

Here are my four GWAS lectures of ~20 minutes each for the International Statistical Genetics Workshop 2026.
They're part of the broader workshop curriculum but also work as standalone lectures covering the basics of GWAS from the ground up.

Een dna-test zet het leven van journalist Cas Reijnders op z'n kop: zijn vader blijkt niet zijn genetische vader. In episode 3 van de NRC-podcast Koekoekskind kwam Kim Bos bij me langs met de vraag waar veel van mijn werk over gaat: hoe belangrijk is dna eigenlijk?

Weekendavisen har interviewet mig om denne artikel til deres Ideer-sektion: Elitens gener. Et rigtig fint stykke om, hvordan gener og socioøkonomi i stigende grad sorteres sammen. Bonus: det skønne ler-coverart af Stephan Dybus. Tak @weekendavisen.dk!
Een dna-test leidt tot een persoonlijke zoektocht én een groter verhaal: het structureel falen en gebrekkig toezicht in de Nederlandse fertiliteitssector.
Very excited about this preprint that we just posted. It introduces the Genomic-Relatedness Matched Association (GRMA) study. It’s an extension to family-based GWAS that uses extended relatives beyond only siblings in diverse-ancestry data with very little bias. (Link below.)
