I'll be at #ASHG25 this week! Check out my poster Wed 2:30-4:30, at 5071W.
"Bridging the GWAS-eQTL colocalization gap with insights from caQTL analyses" with @struangrant.bsky.social and Laura Almasy
Most p-value explanations that I've come across focus only on the mechanical process of calculation, without telling students why they're doing it or how to interpret the results. So this video is me attempting to motivate the concept of hypothesis testing from first principles.
My foray into video creation! This is my entry into #SoME4, an annual exposition of math-explainers. A friendly introduction to hypothesis testing, with minimal math background required.

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.

This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...
Good to see @maxdudek.bsky.social on here now - here’s his recent preprint
