Phenotypic annotation: using polygenic scores to translate discoveries from genome-wide association studies from the top down
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified specific genetic variants
associated with complex human traits and behaviors, such as educational attainment …

A polygenic score for higher educational attainment is associated with larger brains
People who score higher on intelligence tests tend to have larger brains. Twin studies
suggest the same genetic factors influence both brain size and intelligence. This has led to …

Genetics of nurture: A test of the hypothesis that parents' genetics predict their observed caregiving.
Twin studies have documented that parenting behavior is partly heritable, but it is unclear
how parents' genetics shape their caregiving. Using tools of molecular genetics, the present …
