This study identifies 43 genomic loci associated with reproductive success in 785,604 individuals, showing ongoing natural selection at the FADS locus.

This paper shows that controlling for heritable covariates in models with polygenic scores can introduce bias due to collider conditioning, leading to spurious associations.

This study identifies 370 genetic loci associated with age at first sex and birth, linking them to externalising behaviour and reproductive biology.

The paper analyzes rare coding variants in smoking and drinking behavior using exome chip data, finding that they contribute to phenotypic variation but require larger samples for individual variant associations.
