Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified 1000’s of loci across the genome associated with traits and diseases (e.g. Zhou et al.1). Classical regression models applied in GWAS assume the variance of residuals (i.e., everything that is not explained by the SNP test...

This meta-analysis identified seven out of eight prospective cohort studies that provide support for the ERI hypothesis: the aggregated results showed that employees experiencing ERI (vs. those who did not) have an 1.5-fold increased risk to suffer from depressive disorders. Although the cumulative ...
Participants in the 23andMe cohort were customers of 23andMe, Inc., a personal genetics company, who had been genotyped as part of the 23andMe Personal Genome Services. DNA extraction and genotyping were performed on saliva samples by the National Genetics Institute (NGI), a Clinical Laboratory ...
Some envisioned applications of mixture deconvolution, such as in forensic genetics, may involve mixtures with low number of cells. Therefore, we generated a complex blood mixture with a lower number of input cells per each of the same 5 individuals. After sequencing, we recovered 1306 cells (Ta...
Gene-edited condition, supporters may argue, is different from editing out a person, and curing disease is a good thing. But our genetic conditions are not simply entities that can be clipped away from us and our genetic conditions form a fundamental part of who we are. Using genome ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: Are there any studies that show who might be more seriously affected by COVID, whether it’s based on risk factors such as genetics, vitamin deficiencies, etc.? -- F.F. ANSWER: There are many disease conditions that put a person at risk...
