Human genetic admixture

open access: yesPLOS Genetics, 2021
Throughout human history, large-scale migrations have facilitated the formation of populations with ancestry from multiple previously separated populations. This process leads to subsequent shuffling of genetic ancestry through recombination, producing variation in ancestry between populations, among individuals in a population, and along the genome ...

DecodeME: community recruitment for a large genetics study of myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2022
Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a common, long-term condition characterised by post-exertional malaise, often with fatigue that is not significantly relieved by rest.

Mutation saturation for fitness effects at human CpG sites

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Whole exome sequences have now been collected for millions of humans, with the related goals of identifying pathogenic mutations in patients and establishing reference repositories of data from unaffected individuals.

Mendelian randomization suggests a bidirectional, causal relationship between physical inactivity and adiposity

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Physical inactivity and increased sedentary time are associated with excess weight gain in observational studies. However, some longitudinal studies indicate reverse causality where weight gain leads to physical inactivity and increased sedentary time ...

A Global Effort to Define the Human Genetics of Protective Immunity to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

open access: yesCell, 2020
SARS-CoV-2 infection displays immense inter-individual clinical variability, ranging from silent infection to lethal disease. The role of human genetics in determining clinical response to the virus remains unclear.

Opportunistic genomic screening. Recommendations of the European Society of Human Genetics

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Human Genetics, 2020
If genome sequencing is performed in health care, in theory the opportunity arises to take a further look at the data: opportunistic genomic screening (OGS). The European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) in 2013 recommended that genome analysis should be

The Opportunities and Challenges of Integrating Population Histories Into Genetic Studies for Diverse Populations: A Motivating Example From Native Hawaiians

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
There is a well-recognized need to include diverse populations in genetic studies, but several obstacles continue to be prohibitive, including (but are not limited to) the difficulty of recruiting individuals from diverse populations in large numbers and

Human genetics and malaria resistance

open access: yesHuman Genetics, 2020
Malaria has been the pre-eminent cause of early mortality in many parts of the world throughout much of the last five thousand years and, as a result, it is the strongest force for selective pressure on the human genome yet described. Around one third of
