We don't want people to think you can see evil in the genome, but we'll call our Channel 4 documentary "Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a dictator".

I wrote about how population stratification in genetic analyses led to a decade of false findings and almost certainly continues to bias emerging results. But we are starting to have statistical tools to sniff it out. A 🧵:

Parent-of-Origin inference and its role in the genetic architecture of complex traits: evidence from ~220,000 individuals
Parent-of-origin effects (POEs) occur when the impact of a genetic variant depends on its parental origin. Traditionally linked to genomic imprinting, these effects are believed to have evolved from p...
