Horwitz & Keller preprint - a meta-analysis on assortative mating across 22 traits ( discussed in Psychology Today:
biorxiv.org
Assortative mating (AM) occurs when the correlation for a trait between mates is larger than would be expected by chance. AM can increase the genetic and environmental variation of traits, can...

Question about imputation software: Is there a way to ask the program to change existing SNP calls based on some threshold of (e.g.) posterior likelihood?.

Assortative mating is known to bias twin/family heritability (h2) estimates, but how does it influence SNP-h2? See our paper in Nature Communications to find out: (Amazing work by IBG PhD Richard Border on this MS!)

Psychology’s replication crisis is typically conceptualised as the insight that the published literature contains a worrying amount of unreplicable, false-positive findings. At the same time,...

It's pretty rare to read a review paper about your field and intended for people not in your field that you learn much from (or even that you think is worthwhile). Here is an exception, beautifully written by @kph3k:

Our work showing historical candidate genes are unrelated to depression covered in the Atlantic (. It's not enough to just say, "Oh well," and move along. What about the scientific process needs to change so that this doesn't happen again in the future?.

I have never in my career read a synopsis of a paper I've (co-)written that is better than the original paper. Until now. I have no clue who this person is or what this blog is about, but this simply nails every aspect of the issue:

In 1996, some researchers discovered that depressed people often had an unusual version of the serotonin transporter gene 5-HTTLPR. The study became a psychiatric sensation, getting thousands of ci…

nice to see developmental psych findings that explicitly account for genetics.
