If you follow their methods, specifically [63], they are modelling the proportion of null hypotheses in their tests. Performing FDR by group is a reasonable approach, and does not necessarily cause P-value inflation. This is different fro

Thank you for clearly sharing how and why scientists can accurately measure genetic effects in twin studies. You are correct in your assertion that mono vs di - zygotic twin studies are usually good measures of heritability. I would add a

No two cells are ever genetically identical. Within a common hyper-mutable region, tandem repeats, the mutation rate is 10^-3 to 10^-5. There are over 10^5 tandem repeats in the genome, and therefore at least one mutation is expected for e

"Death of the weakest" leads to a better understanding of evolution. However, fitness (or its antipode, weakness) is usually measured with average reproductive rate. Averages can be misleading. Better yet, think of evolution as
