A genome-wide metabolic QTL analysis in Europeans implicates two loci shaped by recent positive selection. by George Nicholson, Mattias Rantalainen, Jia V Li, Anthony D Maher, Daniel Malmodin, Kourosh R Ahmadi, Johan H Faber, Amy Barrett, Josine L Min, N William Rayner, Henrik Toft, Maria Krestyaninova, Juris Viksna, Sudeshna Guha Neogi, Marc-Emmanuel Dumas, Ugis Sarkans, MolPAGE Consortium, Peter Donnelly, Thomas Illig, Jerzy Adamski, Karsten Suhre, Maxine Allen, Krina T Zondervan, Tim D Spector, Jeremy K Nicholson, John C Lindon, Dorrit Baunsgaard, Elaine Holmes, Mark I McCarthy, Chris C Holmes

“…Two of the three hit regions lie within haplotype blocks (at 2p13.1 and 10q24.2) that carry the genetic signature of strong, recent, positive selection in European populations. Genes NAT8 and PYROXD2, both with relatively uncharacterized functional roles, are good candidates for mediating the corresponding mQTL associations. …”

cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. …”
