Talk:Complex traits

Untitled
Maybe add some details about Ronald Fisher's work. In a sentence or so, what was the experiment? Would be interesting to know.

Not a great flow between the two parts of this sentence: "However, the number of genes involved in such traits remained unclear; until recently, genetic loci were expected to have moderate effect sizes and each explain several percent of heritability." Maybe add some details about what specifically was unclear.

You jump from 1918 to 2001. Might be good to add a sentence bridging these two periods with details with a couple discoveries in between them.

Who's the 2017 analysis by?

I would formally introduce the term "omnigenic" hypothesis before you reference it in the last sentence. Or at least make it clear that it references what you were just talking about before it.

Really, really cool topic! Loved reading about it and it was super thorough with it's scientific details of the topic. I'd maybe add a picture or two to make it seem a little less dense, but it's a great page.
