@taumuyi.bsky.social"We found no within-family ancestry effect on educational attainment or other traits despite significant associations at the population level, implying environmental causes or confounding." #BioMed
@taumuyi.bsky.socialBut more interesting to me, and I commented on this when preprint came out, was the stark difference between population and within-family associations for Educational Attainment (EA) #BioMed
@taumuyi.bsky.socialThis is such a great paper from Wang, Torres, Visscher and colleagues examining genetics in heterogeneous Mexican population

@katherinestiles.orgThe deaths of two children in separate gene-editing trials in China raise serious questions about oversight and could have a profound effect on the country’s biomedical industry, say researchers, ethicists and legal scholars. #biomed #researchethics #geneediting #academicsky
