Bipolar disorder (BD) is one of the most heritable mental illnesses, but the elucidation of its
genetic basis has proven to be a very challenging endeavor. Genome-Wide Association …

Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of unrelated individuals capture
effects of inherited variation (direct effects), demography (population stratification …

ABSTRACT A forest species of millipede belonging to the Order Spirobolida found along the
eastern coast of southern Africa were tested for size assortative mating. The objectives …

Analyses of data from genome-wide association studies on unrelated individuals have
shown that, for human traits and diseases, approximately one-third to two-thirds of …

Fields as diverse as human genetics and sociology are increasingly using polygenic scores
based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for phenotypic prediction. However …

Positive correlations between mates can increase trait variation and prevalence, as well as
bias estimates from genetically informed study designs. While past studies of similarity …

Humans often mate with those resembling themselves, a phenomenon described as positive
assortative mating (PAM). The causes of this attract broad interest, but there is little …

A central aim of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is to estimate direct genetic
effects: the causal effects on an individual's phenotype of the alleles that they carry …

Measurement error in polygenic indices (PGIs) attenuates the estimation of their effects in
regression models. We analyze and compare two approaches addressing this attenuation …

Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) represent a combination of the
effect of inherited genetic variation (direct effects), demography (population stratification …
