Revisiting genetic associations with educational outcomes during and after the Soviet era in Estonia

The paper examines genetic contributions to educational attainment and occupational status in Estonia during and after the Soviet era using the Estonian Biobank, finding increased genetic influence in education but not occupation.

Sex-specific associations between education-related genetic factors and fertility extend beyond educational attainment

The paper examines sex-specific links between education-related genetic factors and fertility, finding stronger negative associations in women and weaker or positive associations in men, independent of educational attainment.

Genetic effects on migration behaviour contribute to increasing spatial differentiation at trait-associated loci in Estonia

The paper shows that migration behavior in Estonia increases spatial genetic differentiation at trait-associated loci, with educational attainment PGS driving inter-regional differences.

Ancestral genetic components are consistently associated with the complex trait landscape in European biobanks

This study investigates the association between ancestral genetic components and complex traits in European biobanks, finding that these components contribute to trait variation and act as confounders.

Analysis of associations between polygenic risk score and COVID-19 severity in a Russian population using low-pass genome sequencing

This study uses a polygenic risk score derived from genome-wide data to identify individuals at higher risk of severe COVID-19 in a Russian population.
