We are very pleased that our analysis of the clinical effects of Neanderthal DNA that remains in modern humans using more than 28,000 individuals from Vanderbilt’s BioVU database and the eMERGE Network has been published in Science:

The article has been getting some great press from: NPR, The Atlantic, Wall St. Journal, and many more.

A project we contributed to led by Rob Williams at UT Memphis that carried out a joint phenome-wide association study in mice and humans was just published in Nature Communications. Check it out:

Joint mouse–human phenome-wide association to test gene function and disease risk
