Second-generation PLINK: rising to the challenge of larger and richer datasets
Christopher C. Chang,Carson C. Chow,Laurent C. A. M. Tellier,Shashaank Vattikuti,Shaun Purcell,James J. Lee +5 more
TL;DR: The second-generation versions of PLINK will offer dramatic improvements in performance and compatibility, and for the first time, users without access to high-end computing resources can perform several essential analyses of the feature-rich and very large genetic datasets coming into use.

TL;DR: A joint (multi-phenotype) analysis of educational attainment and three related cognitive phenotypes generates polygenic scores that explain 11–13% of the variance ineducational attainment and 7–10% ofthe variance in cognitive performance, which substantially increases the utility ofpolygenic scores as tools in research.
