Getting to know you: Accuracy and error in judgments of character [PDF]
, 2020 Character judgments play an important role in our everyday lives. However, decades of empirical research on trait attribution suggest that the cognitive processes that generate these judgments are prone to a number of biases and cognitive distortions ...

KCC2 expression levels are reduced in post mortem brain tissue of Rett syndrome patients
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2019 Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene. Deficient K+-Cl—co-transporter 2 (KCC2) expression is suggested to play a key role in the neurodevelopmental delay in RTT patients’

On the Effect of Asymmetrical Trait Inheritance on Models of Trait Evolution [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2019 AbstractCurrent phylogenetic comparative methods modeling quantitative trait evolution generally assume that, during speciation, phenotypes are inherited identically between the two daughter species. This, however, neglects the fact that species consist of a set of individuals, each bearing its own trait value.

Genetic mapping of cell type specificity for complex traits
Nature Communications, 2019 Tissue- and cell type-specific information helps to interpret findings from genome-wide association studies. Here, the authors leverage multiple single cell expression datasets to infer cell type specificity of traits.

Item-level analyses reveal genetic heterogeneity in neuroticism
Nature Communications, 2018 Neuroticism can be assessed as a composite score of individual items. Here, Nagel et al. perform genetic association studies for 12 neuroticism items and the sum-score and demonstrate genetic heterogeneity at the item-level.

Time for a plant structural economics spectrum [PDF]
, 2019 We argue that tree and crown structural diversity can and should be integrated in the whole-plant economics spectrum. Ecologists have found that certain functional trait combinations have been more viable than others during evolution, generating a trait ...
