Related to the discussion about quantitative GWAS and QTL, this primer review (and in particular box 1) is helpful in clarifying the (non) difference between the two types of studies:

The statistics behind quantitative GWAS and QTL studies is the same, the only main difference might be the multiple testing correction procedure.
In general, it’s more a nomenclature distinction, as the term “QTL” is often used specifically for molecular traits.

VOC(volatile organic compounds) in mask

November 20, 2022

Interesting article that implies one should “air out” a mask prior to wearing it (to get rid of toxic VOCs). For an N95, this requires 6 hrs.
