Nominal and Verbal Modification in Gwama

Aethiopica
This paper presents a descriptive analysis of the modifiers of Gwama, one of the Koman languages spoken mainly in Western Ethiopia. In addition to nouns and verbs, the language has the following word classes: adjectives, adverbs, and numerals ...

Genetic association study of childhood aggression across raters, instruments, and age [PDF]

Translational Psychiatry, 2021
Childhood aggressive behavior (AGG) has a substantial heritability of around 50%. Here we present a genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of childhood AGG, in which all phenotype measures across childhood ages from multiple assessors were ...

Notes on Gwama grammar

Studies in African Linguistics, 2012
Based on original field work, the paper provides a preliminary characterization of the grammar of Gwama, a little-researched Nilo-Saharan language of western Ethiopia belonging to the Koman language cluster.

GWAMA: software for genome-wide association meta-analysis [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background Despite the recent success of genome-wide association studies in identifying novel loci contributing effects to complex human traits, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, much of the genetic component of variation in these phenotypes remains ...

Plasma cortisol-linked gene networks in hepatic and adipose tissues implicate corticosteroid-binding globulin in modulating tissue glucocorticoid action and cardiovascular risk [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) by the Cortisol Network (CORNET) consortium identified genetic variants spanning the SERPINA6/SERPINA1 locus on chromosome 14 associated with morning plasma cortisol, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and ...

Multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies candidate genes for computed tomography-based carcass composition traits in pigs [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution
Background Carcass composition traits, such as lean meat percentage, bone percentage, and number of ribs, are critical factors determining meat production and profitability of pigs.

A fast wavelet-based functional association analysis replicates several susceptibility loci for birth weight in a Norwegian population [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Birth weight (BW) is one of the most widely studied anthropometric traits in humans because of its role in various adult-onset diseases.

fastMETA: a fast and efficient tool for multivariate meta-analysis of GWAS [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have transformed human genetics by identifying thousands of loci associated with complex traits and diseases. Yet, individual GWAS are often underpowered, and traditional meta-analysis methods - though widely used ...
