REVIEW: Domestication and the evolution of crops: variable syndromes, complex genetic architectures, and ecological entanglements (Ornob Alam, Michael D Purugganan) buff.ly/3vCTbwJ ASPB #PlantSci

Glad to see our paper, with Xin He Matthew Stephens Wes Crouse Sheng and Kevin, is out today at Nature Genetics! nature.com/articles/s4158…. We developed a new statistical method, causal-TWAS or cTWAS, to reliably identify causal genes in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). 1/n
