First time on Bsky and first big announcement! I am excited to announce that our new study explaining the missing heritability of many phenotypes using WGS data from ~347,000 UK Biobank participants has just been published in @Nature. Our manuscript is here: www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Estimation and mapping of the missing heritability of human phenotypes - Nature
WGS data were used from 347,630 individuals with European ancestry in the UK Biobank to obtain high-precision estimates of coding and non-coding rare variant heritability for 34 co...

FEMA-Long: Modeling unstructured covariances for discovery of time-dependent effects in large-scale longitudinal datasets
Linear mixed-effects (LME) models are commonly used for analyzing longitudinal data. However, most applications of LME models rely on random intercepts or simple, e.g., stationary, covariance. Here, w...

New preprint! 🗞️ Lucy Whitmore and I discuss the many potential challenges in using the brain age prediction framework in children and adolescents, and make recommendations for future directions. 🔗: osf.io/preprints/ps...
image showing a figure that illustrates the brain age prediction framework, whereby a machine learning algorithm is trained with multiple brain MRI images and then tested with new brain data. The new brain data is without an age tag, meaning the machine learning algorithm has to estimate age based on its training. The resulting brain predicted age (here 11) is compared to the actual age in the last panel (here 9), and a difference between them is calculated, known as the brain age gap (here 2).
