Gamilaraay kinship revisited: incidence of recessive disease is dynamically traded-off against benefits of cooperative behaviours
Traditional Indigenous marriage rules have been studied extensively since the mid 1800s. Despite this, they have historically been cast aside as having very little utility. This is, in large part, due to a focus on trying to understand broad-stroke marriage restrictions or how they may evolve. Here, taking the Gamilaraay system as a case study, we instead ask how relatedness may be distributed under such a system. We show, remarkably, that this system dynamically trades off kin avoidance to minimise incidence of recessive diseases against expected levels of cooperation, as understood formally through Hamilton's rule.

Correcting for Cryptic Relatedness in Genome-Wide Association Studies
While the individuals chosen for a genome-wide association study (GWAS) may not be closely related to each other, there can be distant (cryptic) relationships that confound the evidence of disease association. These cryp…
A lower prevalence for recessive disorders in a random mating population is a transient phenomenon during and after a growth phase
Despite increasing data from population-wide sequencing studies, the risk for recessive disorders in consanguineous partnerships is still heavily debated. An important aspect that has not sufficiently been investigated t…
Identification of a DAGLB Mutation in a Non-Chinese Patient with Parkinson's Disease
Liu et al. recently reported that biallelic mutations in DAGLB are responsible for autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease. They identified six patients carrying DAGLB mutations, all of Chinese origin and pre…
Feature-Filter: Detecting Adversarial Examples through Filtering off Recessive Features
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are under threat from adversarial example attacks. The adversary can easily change the outputs of DNNs by adding small well-designed perturbations to inputs. Adversarial example detection is a…

The drift-barrier hypothesis states that random genetic drift constrains the refinement of a phenotype under natural selection. The influence of effective population size and the genome-wide deleterious mutation rate wer…
