    Barcoded bulk QTL mapping reveals highly polygenic and epistatic architecture of complex traits in yeast

    Alex N Nguyen Ba, Katherine R Lawrence ... Michael M Desai
    A bulk barcoded quantitative trait locus approach increases the power and resolution of genotype-phenotype mapping in yeast, revealing that the genetic architecture of 18 complex traits is highly polygenic, and is characterized by widespread epistatic interactions and pleiotropic effects.

    GWAS of three molecular traits highlights core genes and pathways alongside a highly polygenic background

    Nasa Sinnott-Armstrong, Sahin Naqvi ... Jonathan K Pritchard
    Across urate, IGF-1, and testosterone, thousands of dispersed variants contribute to heritability, while previously characterized core pathways are highly enriched for associations and reveal feedback mechanisms governing serum biomarker levels.

    Haplotype function score improves biological interpretation and cross-ancestry polygenic prediction of human complex traits

    Weichen Song, Yongyong Shi, Guan Ning Lin
    Using sequence-determined functional genomic features instead of original genotypes can partially overcome challenges in genetic association studies, such as rare variant exclusion and population structure.

    Variable prediction accuracy of polygenic scores within an ancestry group

    Hakhamanesh Mostafavi, Arbel Harpak ... Molly Przeworski
    The prediction accuracies of polygenic scores in humans vary depending on the characteristics of the samples, as well as based on the study design, within a single ancestry group.

    Reduced signal for polygenic adaptation of height in UK Biobank

    Jeremy J Berg, Arbel Harpak ... Graham Coop
    Many prior signals of polygenic adaptation on human height do not replicate in the UK Biobank.

    Polygenic adaptation after a sudden change in environment

    Laura Katharine Hayward, Guy Sella
    A shift in fitness optimum of a polygenic trait rapidly introduces small frequency differences between alleles with effects aligned with and opposing the shift, which gradually translate into small differences in fixation probability.

    An atlas of polygenic risk score associations to highlight putative causal relationships across the human phenome

    Tom G Richardson, Sean Harrison ... George Davey Smith
    A resource to systematically explore the association between overall genetic risk for 162 risk factors and disease with 551 outcomes.

    Genomics of 1 million parent lifespans implicates novel pathways and common diseases and distinguishes survival chances

    Paul RHJ Timmers, Ninon Mounier ... Peter K Joshi
    Genomic associations with lifespan principally reflect heart disease/smoking/dementia but not other cancers, and distinguish lifespan differences of five years between top/bottom deciles of a score derived from DNA alone.

    Sibling similarity can reveal key insights into genetic architecture

    Tade Souaiaia, Hei Man Wu ... Paul F O'Reilly
    A novel statistical framework and approach using sibling phenotype pairs allows inference of genetic architecture in the tails of complex traits to be made without genetic data.

    Constructing an atlas of associations between polygenic scores from across the human phenome and circulating metabolic biomarkers

    Si Fang, Michael V Holmes ... Tom G Richardson
    A comprehensive resource to systematically evaluate the genetically predicted associations between 125 polygenic risk scores and 249 metabolic traits.
