1/ We've just finished 3 papers on #transposons #infection #epigenomics #graphGenomes, the result of an amazing collaboration with @LB_Barreiro and Tomi Pastinen. Start of a long 🧵 Image
2/ The first paper by lead author @katiearacena is:

Epigenetic variation impacts ancestry-associated differences in the transcriptional response to influenza infection

In work led by Carrie Zhu, we consider some puzzles that arise in evaluating autosomal gene-by-sex interaction (GxSex) in complex human traits.
We argue that polygenic GxSex may be pervasive but largely missed by current approaches.

Should we polygenic effects to depend on context? In other organisms, where the environment can be controlled / manipulated, we know gene-by-environment interaction is the rule, not the exception. 2/n
What about sex as the context? A lot of traits are sexually dimorphic; but should we expect the causes to be sex-specific genetic effects? And to be found in existing, common genetic variation? Evidence from GWAS has been largely underwhelming. 3/n
