Polygenic Adaptation has Impacted Multiple Anthropometric Traits

J. J. Berg, X. Zhang, G. Coop

The paper investigates polygenic adaptation in anthropometric traits across global populations but finds replication issues in height-related results due to stratification problems in datasets.

Reduced signal for polygenic adaptation of height in UK Biobank

J. J. Berg, A. Harpak, N. Sinnott-Armstrong, A. M. Joergensen, H. Mostafavi, Y. Field, E. A. Boyle, X. Zhang, F. Racimo, J. K. Pritchard, G. Coop

The paper analyzes polygenic height scores from UK Biobank and finds reduced signals of selection compared to previous studies, suggesting potential issues with population stratification correction.

Parallel Altitudinal Clines Reveal Adaptive Evolution Of Genome Size In Zea mays

P. Bilinski, P. S. Albert, J. J. Berg, J. Birchler, M. Grote, A. Lorant, J. Quezada, K. Swarts, J. Yang, J. Ross-Ibarra

The paper investigates genome size variation in Zea mays across altitudinal gradients, finding natural selection drives genome size changes through repeat content and linking it to flowering time and cell division rates.
