Hello world! 👋
Som el Departament de Medicina i Ciències de la Vida de la @upf.edu. Vivim al @prbb.org i ens presentem de la millor manera possible: donant la veu al nostre personal i deixant clar que entre tots, 'we make science happen'! 💫
T'animes a seguir-nos? 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏾
Benvinguts @melisupf.bsky.social! 🦋
Tota la #PRBBCommunity, d'una manera o altra, posa el seu granet de sorra per contribuir a fer la millor ciència i així ens ho demostreu en aquest vídeo! 🥰👇
Excited to share our new preprint🙌
It's the first human WGS study in Sudan. We uncover one of the strongest selection signals to date, pointing to post-admixture adaptation to malaria in Copts. Huge thanks to all co-authors. @aidaandres.bsky.social @jgarcia-cal.bsky.social @ebosch1972.bsky.social

També vull agraïr a l’Elena i al Francesc per fer ells principalment l’esforç de traduir l’article al català🌹. Vam pensar que si volíem fer un retorn a la societat de la nostra investigació, era molt adequat fer-ho en la llengua del lloc on són les dades. Podeu llegir-lo aquí:
Figure showing the LAD regions over MHC and the score for the selection scan statistic over the region
We find an overlap of signatures of selection and genomic regions showing local ancestry deviation, which may indicate selection events facilitated by admixture. For example, the selection signals in the LCT locus and the MHC region both showed Steppe ancestry enrichment. 🏇
With the information of local ancestry, we inferred regions with an excess of any main ancestral components that shaped European populations: West Hunter Gatherers, Early European farmers, and Steppe ancestry. 👣
Manhattan plot showing the detected selection signals and the related traits
Using 704 whole genome sequences, we discovered novel candidates for positive selection putatively associated with immunity (UBL7, SMYD1, VAC14) and diet (FDFT1)🥩. Interestingly, SMYD1 is related to the presence of antigen AnWj, a receptor of Haemophilus influenzae.🦠
We aimed to detect specific signals of adaptation in the Spanish population and infer which role past admixtures, such as the Neolithic Revolution, play in this process.🧑🌾
I am delighted to share with you some new insights into the selection processes that shaped the Spanish population!
