Evolutionary quantitative geneticist | Assistant Prof (Research) @AshokaUniversity
Joined April 2012
My first paper as an independent young investigator on sex differences in the multivariate genetic architecture of humans got published in PNAS. We estimated the B matrix in humans which shows sexual antagonism mostly driven by testosterone.

This was an interesting read from Plomin and Deary on the genetics of intelligence. Notably, they make five predictions about what we should expect to see from molecular data, based on their decades of experience with twin studies. Do they hold up? A đź§µ: https://t.co/Ig3ZgmS9An
