The paper shows that positive selection on FADS genes in Europe occurred before and after farming, with geographic variation and associations with lipid levels and disease risk.

XWAS provides tools for X chromosome analysis in GWAS, identifying new genetic associations in immune disorders and coronary artery disease risk factors.

This study develops a method to efficiently compute the site frequency spectrum under generalized population growth models and applies it to show human population growth faster than exponential.

The paper analyzes the X chromosome in GWAS to identify X-linked genes associated with autoimmune diseases, finding several genes linked to conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
