New online! Genomics of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder bit.ly/455kG1G

Happy to share our new study on genetic & environmental contributors to age-related decline in ~100K UK Biobank participants! Nature Communications Here, we used simulation work + longitudinal GWAS to explore risks involved in cognitive/physical decline (1/)🧵🧵 shorturl.at/99gqL

We have reached a sale agreement with Regeneron, a leading US-based biotechnology company, to carry forward 23andMe’s mission and maintain customer privacy protections. Read more about today’s announcement here: 23and.me/3ZoX2JT

✨Exciting news: Our project´s website is LIVE! We are very excited to announce the launch of the official website for the ECHO Project ➡️echo-project.eu

Clues are emerging about the ghostly clan that settled eastern Asia and left a genetic legacy in people today go.nature.com/3ZlC1Qk

The ReGPC presents comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality in N=611K-1.14M and within-family GWAS in N=51K. In contrast to many other social/behav traits, pop GWAS of personality almost entirely reflect direct genetic effects. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Lots of nice within-family analyses here showing that direct genetic effects on personality are very similar to the population GWAS effects. Interestingly the one nominal exception, openness to experience (purple), also had the highest genetic correlation with edu attainment.

Biggest and most comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality traits just dropped! Thrilled to be part of this 🔥🙏

La Dra. Jennifer Melfi, psiquiatra de Toni Soprano, lo dejó bien claro. En cuanto a comportamiento y rasgos similares como la inteligencia, logro educativo o éxito profesional, no existe el determinismo genético. Abdel Abdellaoui Sasha Gusev

What if a brilliant genomics researcher in Amsterdam summarized everything we know about society and genes in a comic book?

Wow. The comic created from the article will almost certainly have greater popular impact (and for many topics that could easily be the larger overall value). Short video explainers would do the same for most papers.

The genetic architecture of personality: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… great pre-print by an all-star team. Congrats!

🚨🧬 New preprint! We tested whether PGS predicted global functioning across psychiatric hospitalization among 5991 people with schizophrenia. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Jiacheng Miao's PIGEON paper on GxE methodology is now published Nature Human Behaviour with a new title. In our view, this paper can reshape the study design for future complex trait GxE work. Paper📰doi.org/10.1038/s41562… Software🧑‍💻github.com/qlu-lab/GSUB

🚨 Just out! Massive global ENIGMA-CNV study led by Ana Silva + David Linden (90+ authors!) reveals how rare copy number variants (CNVs) in the human genome disrupt brain structure. Landmark in human genetics 🌍🧬🧠 Basically 🌐They pooled T1-weighted brain MRI + genetic data

Don't let this keep you from following your interests. If your goal is anything else than enjoying to study the things you are curious about, science may not be the best field for you anyways

(1/9) 📣 OUT NOW! 📣 So excited to share that our systematic review and meta-analysis on the autism polygenic score is now published in JAACAP Open doi.org/10.1016/j.jaac… A (long) thread of our main findings ⤵️

I'm so fortunate that this paper got published in such a good journal. I hope that it can be a helpful guide for future researchers who want to work at the intersection of economics and genetics and estimate Gene-Environment interplay #GxE
