This study conducts a GWAS of preterm birth and gestational age in Peruvian women, identifying suggestive signals and pathways but no genome-wide significant associations.

The paper introduces BGE, a sequencing method that combines low-pass whole genome and deep whole exome data, showing high accuracy and cost-effectiveness for genetic variant discovery.

This study examines genetic structure in African populations using ethnolinguistic data, finding that language classifications better capture genetic variation than geography alone.

This study shows low-coverage sequencing is more accurate and cost-effective than GWAS arrays for detecting genetic variation in diverse African populations.

This study identifies maternal-fetal genetic interactions and imprinting effects associated with placental abruption risk using a large cohort of Peruvian mother-infant pairs.

The paper analyzes polygenic score usage and performance across diverse human populations, finding significant disparities in effect sizes and highlighting the need for more inclusive GWAS.

This study conducts the largest GWAS for PTSD, identifying 6 genome-wide significant loci in European and African ancestries and highlighting novel biological pathways.
