Manuscript co-authored by Dr. Sandra Sanchez-Roige and Dr. Abraham Palmer accepted for publication in Molecular Psychiatry

The manuscript , “Genome-wide association study of problematic opioid prescription use in 132,113 23andMe research participants of European ancestry”, has been provisionally accepted for publication in Molecular Psychiatry. Dr. Sandra Sanchez-Roige is the first author and Dr. Abraham Palmer is the last author; they are also co-corresponding authors. In addition, Mariela Jennings, Sevim Bianchi, and Yuye Huang, who are members of Dr. Sanchez-Roige’s lab, are co-authors. This study identified two genome wide significant loci associated with problematic opioid use (POU). Additional genetic correlations along with POU were found including alcohol dependence,

$200,000 Supplement to Center for GWAS in outbred mice awarded to make the center’s database more FAIR (“Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable”)

Dr. Abraham Palmer has received a $200,000  supplement for the project titled, “Making data from the center for GWAS in out bred rats FAIR and AI/ML ready”.  NIDA has provided these funds to improve the AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning)-readiness of data from the Center for GWAS outbred rats. Additionally, these funds will be used to address important shortcomings in the processing of several large datasets and be used to implement new methods of effective information sharing.

A study co-authored by Dr. Abraham Palmer and Dr. Sandra Sanchez-Roige published on Nature Neuroscience

The recently published article, “Multivariate analysis of 1.5 million people identifies genetic associations with traits related to self-regulation and addiction“, has been fully published on Nature Neuroscience. This study integrates a multivariate approach which uses summary statistics from GWAS data to identify genetic variants associated to externalizing phenotypes. UCSD Health has highlighted this study in its recent press release.

Dr. Oksana Polesskaya presents at the International Zebrafish Conference.

Dr. Polesskaya presented a poster titled “High-throughput genotyping of zebrafish enables GWAS in outbred EKW population” at the 16th International Zebrafish Conference (IZFC).  Coauthors from the Palmer lab includes Dr. Riyan Cheng, Apurva Chitre, Bonnie Lin, Khai-Minh Nguyen, and Dr. Abraham Palmer. This poster presents a cost-effective and high-throughput genotyping method that the Palmer lab has developed in support of a GWAS in zebrafish in order to study the genetic underpinning of complex traits related to anxiety behavior. This method is applied to genotyping large quantities of zebrafish which enables
