Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involve testing genetic variants across the
genomes of many individuals to identify genotype–phenotype associations. GWAS have …

We draw on genetics research to argue that complex psychological phenomena are most
likely determined by a multitude of causes and that any individual cause is likely to have …

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

Many human proteins contain domains that vary in size or copy number because of variable
numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) in protein-coding exons. However, the relationships of …
