      Although recent Genome‐Wide Association Studies have identified novel associations for common variants, there has been no comprehensive exome‐wide search for low‐frequency variants that affect the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We conducted a meta‐analysis of 11 studies comprising 8,332 cases and 16,087 controls of European ancestry and 382 cases and 1,476 controls of African American ancestry ...

      The transition from the last ice age to the present-day interglacial was interrupted by the Younger Dryas (YD) cold period. While many studies exist on this climate event, only few include high-resolution marine records that span the YD. In order to better understand the interactions between ocean, atmosphere and ice sheet stability during the YD, more high-resolution proxy records from the Arctic, ...
