The paper models shared genomic and environmental influences on cognitive, language, and social traits in children, identifying distinct domains with trait-specific correlations between genetic and environmental factors.

The paper uses structural equation modeling to identify three genetic factors linked to language/cognition, behavior, and motor development in ASD, revealing novel associations and simplex-specific genetic overlaps.

The paper derives the conditional Site Frequency Spectrum for a genomic region linked to a focal mutation and presents formulas for neutrality tests in non-recombining regions.

This paper computes the third moments of the site frequency spectrum and derives analytical results for the bias of neutrality tests.
