This paper introduces MRlap, a method to correct bias in IVW-MR by addressing weak instruments and winner's curse, improving causal effect estimation in Mendelian randomization.

This study applies DIPA-CRISPR to Aedes aegypti, demonstrating its effectiveness in polytrophic meroistic ovaries and confirming optimal injection timing for gene editing.

The paper identifies KDM3 as a histone demethylase that prevents auto-immune piRNA production from gene-containing regions in Drosophila by inhibiting piRNA cluster formation.

This study applies genomic prediction for Euterpe edulis to improve breeding programs, finding that single-trait models provide greater selection gains than multi-trait models.

VIPRS improves polygenic risk prediction using variational inference, achieving high accuracy and efficiency in both simulated and real datasets.

The paper estimates heritability of cognitive phenotypes in the ABCD Study using mixed models and the FEMA package, finding narrower confidence intervals with SNP-derived genetic relatedness.
