Rosa Cheesman is exploring which environments help different children

Educational achievement is a key predictor of later-life outcomes, including financial security, social mobility, health, and mortality. Knowing its familial determinants, such as genetic predispositi...

Creative use of informed statistical genetics methods combined with large-scale genomic data has delivered insights about sorting into educational fields. This study has wide-ranging implications for ...

A white van rolled through the gates of a refugee camp in mainland Greece, its driver unloading a stack of pre-packaged lunches.

The application process initiated a year ago has concluded, eight interdisciplinary research projects have been selected to address major societal challenges in the life sciences at the University of ...

Genome-wide analyses of 10 educational fields identify 17 associated loci. Analysis of genetic clustering across specializations identifies two key dimensions that show genetic overlap with personalit...

A genome-wide association study of age at onset of walking in over 70,000 infants found 11 significant loci. Age at onset of walking showed SNP heritability of 24%, a reliable polygenic score and gene...

Nature Communications - Genetic studies may be biased due to volunteer-based biobanks. Using UK Biobank, the authors apply inverse probability weighting based on UK Census data, finding that...

Fallende skoleprestasjoner og økt fravær avdekker et skrikende behov for kunnskap for å møte vår tids utfordringer. Til det trenger vi registre fra skoler og barnehager, skriver Martin Flatø, Fartein ...

Job title: Postdoctoral Fellow - SEGOP (277092), Employer: University of Oslo, Deadline: Tuesday, April 15, 2025

Background Neurodevelopmental conditions are highly heritable. Recent studies have shown that genomic heritability estimates can be confounded by genetic effects mediated via the environment (indire.....
