This study of autism spectrum genetics reveals multiple genesets, which are biologically coherent & coincide with specific developmental onset and symptoms. I feel this is where the psych EMA literature and psychiatric genetics can find synergies! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint! Psychometric networks are often summarized with centrality indices that are sometimes useful and other times not. We show that the "most central" node's influence depends heavily on the configuration of edges in the network; its degree distribution. osf.io/preprints/ps...
