The resulting study was published earlier this month as Estimation and mapping of the missing heritability of human phenotypes, by Wainschtein, Yengo, et al.
The paper was published online on November 12, 2025 (and listed as an Epub date on PubMed), not “earlier this month” relative to the post date (January 16, 2026).
Full reasoning
The Substack post is dated January 16, 2026 (per the metadata you provided). The sentence claims the study “was published earlier this month,” which—given the post date—implies publication in January 2026.
However, the paper’s publication record shows it was published online on November 12, 2025:
- The article page on Nature displays “Published: 12 November 2025.”
- PubMed lists the citation as Nature. 2026 Jan and explicitly states “Epub 2025 Nov 12.”
So, while the paper appears in a January 2026 issue, its publication date (online/Epub) is in November 2025, meaning it was not published “earlier this month” relative to January 16, 2026.
