It has been 15 years since the advent of the genome-wide association study (GWAS) era.
Here, we review how this experimental design has realized its promise by facilitating an …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) test hundreds of thousands of genetic variants
across many genomes to find those statistically associated with a specific trait or disease …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has transformed our understanding of the human brain
through well-replicated mapping of abilities to specific structures (for example, lesion …

We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a
sample of~ 3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome …

Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60–80%, much of which is attributable to common risk
alleles. Here, in a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with …

Tobacco and alcohol use are heritable behaviours associated with 15% and 5.3% of
worldwide deaths, respectively, due largely to broad increased risk for disease and injury …

Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of unrelated individuals capture
effects of inherited variation (direct effects), demography (population stratification …

Gene–environment correlations affect associations between genetic variants and complex
traits in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Here we showed in up to 43,516 British …

Insomnia is a heritable, highly prevalent sleep disorder for which no sufficient treatment
currently exists. Previous genome-wide association studies with up to 1.3 million subjects …

Behavioral genetics in dogs has focused on modern breeds, which are isolated subgroups
with distinctive physical and, purportedly, behavioral characteristics. We interrogated breed …
