In 2018, а genоme-wide аssоciаtiоn study for major depressive disorder (MDD) was published in the journal Nature Communications. The first Manhattan plot below is from that publication. In this study, genome-wide significant SNPs had a P 7.3, and the cutoff for suggestive SNPs was P=10−6 [-Log10(6)]. 1) How many independent loci are associated with MDD at a genome-wide significance level in the 2018 GWAS? [2] 2) If the only difference between these two studies is sample size, which GWAS has the biggest sample size? [2019] 3) If the only difference between these two studies is sample size, do the genome-wide significant variants identified in the 2018 study have a bigger or smaller effect size than most of the genome-wide significant variants identified in the 2019 study?

Yоu аre а Cherоkee living in Willstоwn in the 1820s. Some guy hаs just come to town talking about how is working on a way to write your language down on paper. "That will never happen," you think to yourself. You decide to go introduce yourself and see who this stranger is. You ask the stranger, "What's your name?" He says nothing. He draws some weird symbols in the dirt and says "This. This is my name. When you learn my language, then you will know my name." You spend the next several months learning the alphabet this man created. Now you can finally read his name. What is it?
