g accounts for the cumulative effect of all other variants on the phenotype besides the effect of the specific variant being tested (SNP s).

Although theoretically we should consider the effect of g when testing for GWAS associations, in practice don’t think this happens in standard GWAS tools, such as PLINK and REGENIE (see below).

The persistence of smoke VOCs indoors: Partitioning, surface cleaning, and air cleaning in a smoke-contaminated house | Science Advances

December 22, 2024

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adh8263

QT:{{”
Many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) persisted days following the smoke injection, providing a longer-term exposure pathway for humans….These rates imply that vapor pressure controls partitioning behavior and that house ventilation plays a minor role in removing smoke VOCs. However, surface cleaning activities (vacuuming, mopping, and dusting) physically removed surface reservoirs and thus reduced indoor smoke VOC concentrations more effectively than portable air cleaners and more persistently than window opening.
