Error rates in Q_ST--F_ST comparisons depend on genetic architecture and estimation procedures
Genetic and phenotypic variation among populations is one of the fundamental subjects of evolutionary genetics. One question that arises often in data on natural populations is whether differentiation...

Think of a polygenic score you care about. Are direct genetic effects driving variation among people in this predictor? Or perhaps other, confounding factors? We at the @arbelharpak.bsky.social & @docedge.bsky.social Labs developed a method to tackle this question. [1/n]
A Litmus Test for Confounding in Polygenic Scores
Polygenic scores (PGSs) are being rapidly adopted for trait prediction in the clinic and beyond. PGSs are often thought of as capturing the direct genetic effect of one's genotype on their phenotype. ...
