TL;DR: These data provide the most comprehensive survey of genetic risk within Parkinson's disease to date, providing a biological context for these risk factors, and showing that a considerable genetic component of this disease remains unidentified.

TL;DR: A genetic study identifies hundreds of loci associated with risk tolerance and risky behaviors, finds evidence of substantial shared genetic influences across these phenotypes, and implicates genes involved in neurotransmission.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a sample of ~3 million individuals and identified 3,952 approximately uncorrelated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

TL;DR: This investigation of the transatlantic slave trade is broad in scope in terms of both datasets and analyses, establishes genetic links between individuals in the Americas and populations across Atlantic Africa, yielding a more comprehensive understanding of the African roots of peoples of the Americas.

TL;DR: It is estimated that uniparental disomy, the inheritance of both homologs of a chromosome from one parent with no representative copy from the other, is twice as common as previously thought and a machine-learning framework to detect UPD using ROH is presented.
