Presentation / Conference Contribution
Uwimpuhwe, G., Singh, A., Akhter, N., Ashraf, B., Coolen-Maturi, T., Robinson, T., Higgins, S., & Einbeck, J. (2024, July). Individual participant data meta-analysis: pooled effect of EEF funded educational trials on low baseline attaining group. Presented at International Workshop on Statistical Modelling, Dortmund

The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), a charity aiming to break the link between socioeconomic disadvantage and pupil attainment, has commissioned over 200 randomised controlled trials. The collection of data from these trials, the `EEF Data Arch...

Using genomic prediction to detect microevolutionary change of a quantitative trait (2022)
Journal Article
Hunter, D., Ashraf, B., Bérénos, C., Ellis, P., Johnston, S., Wilson, A., …Slate, J. (2022). Using genomic prediction to detect microevolutionary change of a quantitative trait. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 289(1974), Article 20220330. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2022.0330

Detecting microevolutionary responses to natural selection by observing temporal changes in individual breeding values is challenging. The collection of suitable datasets can take many years and disentangling the contributions of the environment and...

Genomic prediction in the wild: A case study in Soay sheep (2021)
Journal Article
Ashraf, B., Hunter, D. C., Bérénos, C., Ellis, P. A., Johnston, S. E., Pilkington, J. G., …Slate, J. (2022). Genomic prediction in the wild: A case study in Soay sheep. Molecular Ecology, 31(24), 6541-6555. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16262

Genomic prediction, the technique whereby an individual's genetic component of their phenotype is estimated from its genome, has revolutionised animal and plant breeding and medical genetics. However, despite being first introduced nearly two decades... Read More about Genomic prediction in the wild: A case study in Soay sheep.

Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis of the Impact of Educational Interventions on Pupils Eligible for Free School Meals (2021)
Journal Article
Ashraf, B., Singh, A., Uwimpuhwe, G., Higgins, S., & Kasim, A. (2021). Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis of the Impact of Educational Interventions on Pupils Eligible for Free School Meals. British Educational Research Journal, 47(6), 1675-1699. https://doi.org/10.1002/berj.3749

Meta-analysis is the synthesis of findings from research projects, which enables an estimate of the average or pooled effect across various studies. This study presents findings from the intention to treat analysis for a series of educational evaluat...

Genetic drift from the out-of-Africa bottleneck leads to biased estimation of genetic architecture and selection (2021)
Journal Article
Ashraf, B., & Lawson, D. J. (2021). Genetic drift from the out-of-Africa bottleneck leads to biased estimation of genetic architecture and selection. European Journal of Human Genetics, 29(10), 1549-1556. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41431-021-00873-2

Most complex traits evolved in the ancestors of all modern humans and have been under negative or balancing selection to maintain the distribution of phenotypes observed today. Yet all large studies mapping genomes to complex traits occur in populati...
