TL;DR: Using pedigrees to identify individuals with no shared maternal and paternal ancestors in five, and probably at least ten, generations, it is shown that ROHs measuring up to 4 Mb are common in demonstrably outbred individuals.

TL;DR: Genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and the ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC) in the SpiroMeta consortium offers mechanistic insight into pulmonary function regulation and indicate potential targets for interventions to alleviate respiratory disease.

TL;DR: This is the first study to examine the effects of rare CNVs as called by multiple algorithms on cognition in a large non-clinical sample, and finds no effects of such variants on general cognitive ability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the longitudinal distribution of the stars escaping from a cluster along tidal tails using both theory and simulations and showed that, even in the case of a star cluster in a circular galactic orbit, when the tide is steady, the distribution exhibits maxima at a distance of many tidal radii from the cluster.
