The synthesis of quantitative genetics and molecular genetics is transforming research in the behavioural sciences. The ability to measure inherited DNA differences directly has led to polygenic scores and to new methods to estimate heritability and genetic correlations. This issue provides examples of how these advances can be appllied to research on gene-environment interplay in developmental psychopathology.
数量遗传学和分子遗传学的综合正在改变行为科学的研究。直接测量遗传 DNA 差异的能力导致了多基因评分以及新的方法来估计遗传力和遗传相关性。本期特刊提供了这些进展如何应用于发展心理病理学中基因-环境相互作用研究的例子。
