Modeling assortative mating and genetic similarities between partners, siblings, and in-laws

Modeling assortative mating and genetic similarities between partners, siblings, and in-laws

Here, the authors study more than 25,000 Norwegian families to find genetic similarity between partners, siblings, and in-laws in genetic factors related to educational attainment, height, and depression.
