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.

A new agent-based model enables predicting how coral species richness and functional diversity affect the functioning and resilience of coral reef ecosystems.

Data-driven methods predict over 35 mosquitoes are potential vectors of Zika virus, suggesting a larger geographic area and a greater human population is at risk of infection.

Mechanistic, trait-based models for transmission of West Nile virus and observed incidence of human West Nile disease cases in the US both show optimal transmission at 24-25°C.

The absence of generally assumed strong correlations between striatal dopamine synthesis capacity and simple indices of working memory capacity, trait impulsivity, and spontaneous eye-blink rate warrants caution for using these traits as proxy measures to replace direct striatal dopamine assessments.

Genome sequencing of mice selected for longer limbs reveals that rapid selection response is due to both discrete loci and polygenic adaptation.

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.

Offspring of plants selected at low and high plant diversity differently respond to global change drivers (nitrogen enrichment, drought), as reflected by their biomass production and trait expression, whereby plant-soil interactions play a significant role in these processes.

Predicting multivariate phenotypic evolution.

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.
