The next 10 years of behavioural genomic research

JCPP Advances, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Three transformative developments for behavioural genomic research in the next 10 years are described. First, behavioural genomic research will use dimensional measures to reveal the hierarchical genetic architecture of psychopathology. A second direction for behavioural genomic research will be to investigate causa models of GE interplay.

Conditional inference in cis-Mendelian randomization using weak genetic factors [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Mendelian randomization is a widely-used method to estimate the unconfounded effect of an exposure on an outcome by using genetic variants as instrumental variables. Mendelian randomization analyses which use variants from a single genetic region (cis-MR) have gained popularity for being an economical way to provide supporting evidence for drug target ...

Presume It Not: True Causes in the Search for the Basis of Heredity [PDF]

, 2017
Kyle Stanford has recently given substance to the problem of unconceived alternatives, which challenges the reliability of inference to the best explanation (IBE) in remote domains of nature.

Genetic architecture of heritable leaf microbes

Microbiology Spectrum
Host-associated microbiomes are shaped by both their environment and host genetics, and often impact host performance. The scale of host genetic variation important to microbes is largely unknown yet fundamental to the community assembly of host ...

Mendelian randomization while jointly modeling cis genetics identifies causal relationships between gene expression and lipids

Nature Communications, 2020
Mendelian randomization is a useful tool to infer causal relationships between traits, but can be confounded by the presence of pleiotropy. Here, the authors have developed MR-link, a Mendelian randomization method which accounts for unobserved ...

Molecular characterisation of integrated sequences of Banana streak virus in the banana plant genome [PDF]

, 2009
The genome of banana (Musa sp.) harbours multiple integrations of several species of Banana streak virus (BSV), certainly resulting from illegitimate recombination between host and viral DNA. Surprisingly, this pararetrovirus does not require integration

Genome‐Wide Aggregated Trans Effects Analysis Identifies Genes Encoding Immune Checkpoints as Core Genes for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The sparse effector “omnigenic” hypothesis postulates that the polygenic effects of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a typical complex trait are mediated by trans effects that coalesce on expression of a relatively sparse set of core genes.
