Population differentiation of polygenic score predictions under stabilizing selection

This study shows that stabilizing selection on complex traits increases genetic differentiation at GWAS loci, reducing polygenic score accuracy in unrepresented populations and overestimating phenotypic differences.

The timing of human adaptation from Neanderthal introgression

This study examines the timing of selection on Neanderthal introgressed alleles in modern humans, identifying cases where these alleles were quickly beneficial or persisted for later selection.

Genomic basis of parallel adaptation varies with divergence in Arabidopsis and its relatives

The paper investigates genomic parallelism in Arabidopsis species adapting to alpine environments, finding that parallel adaptation decreases with increasing genetic divergence between lineages.
