Nice article by Kenny et al. (doi.org/10.1186/s12711-023-0…) on the variation in genomic relationships in full sibs. Raw relationships are avg 0.55 up to 0.85, after correcting for parent relationships and inbreeding they are nicely 0.5 with a range 0.4-0.6, as expected by theory🙂👍

With contributions of @QGG_AU by @eB_elesandro and me and lead author colleague @stiguandersen of @MolBiolAU @AarhusUni. Great work @murukarthickj and other first and co-authors 🤗.
Marking a milestone in #plant #genomics!!! An amazing team of scientists around the globe unraveled the giant #fababean genome (~ 13 Gb), which is now out @Nature ..Huge congrats to all authors!!! #plantprotein @LeibnizIPK @LeibnizWGL nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Don't know what it is with #plantsvszombies but the course is on #GenomicPrediction in #animals and #plants. The contents have been extended to address kernel methods for GxE and non-additive genetics and again with @GuillRamstein on the lecturing team.

Our cool paper on clover genetics with image analysis by machine learning, prediction of synthetics that were actually made and grown to verify and more 👇
Our latest results on genetics of white clover yield based on continuously tracking growth 3600 plants are now published in @TheorApplGenet rdcu.be/czgaX #legumes #plantgenetics @smoeskjaer @lljanss @DLF_Seeds

A few weeks left until the application deadline (Sept. 30th) for these fully-funded positions in our group @QGG_AU: PhD in evolutionary genomics and quantitative genetics, postdoc in machine learning and bioinformatics nature.com/naturecareers/job… nature.com/naturecareers/job…
Good news from our NORFAB project with @GeuFloresF doing fantastic research resolving the vicine / convicine pathways in faba bean 👍👇
A big step towards faba beans free from vicine and convicine. @GeuFloresF @alanhschulman @fred_stoddard @D_O_Sullivan @NaturePlants #fababean #favism #legumes doi.org/10.1038/s41477-021-0…

I reviewed a paper where authors had increased their data size by adding genomic predicted phenotypes, and then did GWAS. Don't do it, it is flawed! The predicted phenos are basically copies of the training SNP effects, inflating the test statistics for GWAS. End of review ☹️

Congratulations Pernille! More #betterbarley (and grass) from @QGG_AU. I was involved in Pernille's thesis to map markers for root number in #barley, where mixed models failed but Bayesian mapping succeeded 🙂. Hopefully ready to submit soon!
Congratulations to Pernille Bjarup Hansen who successfully defended her PhD thesis Friday on #Genetic Dissection and #Prediction of Complex #Traits in #Barley and Festulolium Grasses. #QGG_AU bit.ly/2G399Hg @lljanss #Torben_Asp

Very proud of my PhD student Charlotte who successfully defended her thesis on improving malting quality in winter #barley with Sejet Plant Breeding. Results already in use, #betterbarley for Denmark 🇩🇰🙂. Congratulations dr. Robertsen! @QGG_AU. phd.tech.au.dk/about-us/curr…

My Genomic Prediction course is running again in the summer, now back to back with a course on Gene Mapping by @GoutamSahana. The links below lead to pages for master students, but these courses are also open to PhD students and others. @QGG_AU @AarhusUni
Two summer courses at Aarhus University. Gene Mapping, 03-07 August 2020, kursuskatalog.au.dk/en/cours… and Genomic Predictions in Animals and Plants, 10-14 August 2020 kursuskatalog.au.dk/da/cours… Practical information at international.au.dk/educatio… @qgg_AU @lljanss

Attenting a UPOV @UPOVint (plant variety protection) meeting in Hangzhou China to learn everything about DUS testing. In the coffee break we do cake testing 😋😀

Incremental average and SD by awk. awk '{dx=$1-mx;mx+=dx/NR;dx2=dx*($1-mx)-vx} NR>1{vx+=dx2/(NR-1)} END{print mx,sqrt(vx)}' file Covariance is available by extending this idea. I saw this in Dr. Larry Schaeffer's course note although it should be a well-known method.
