  bibo_abstract:
  - Preference for mates with similar phenotypes; that is, assortative mating, is
    widely observed in humans1,2,3,4,5 and has evolutionary consequences6,7,8. Under
    Fisher's classical theory6, assortative mating is predicted to induce a signature
    in the genome at trait-associated loci that can be detected and quantified. Here,
    we develop and apply a method to quantify assortative mating on a specific trait
    by estimating the correlation (θ) between genetic predictors of the trait from
    single nucleotide polymorphisms on odd- versus even-numbered chromosomes. We show
    by theory and simulation that the effect of assortative mating can be quantified
    in the presence of population stratification. We applied this approach to 32 complex
    traits and diseases using single nucleotide polymorphism data from ~400,000 unrelated
    individuals of European ancestry. We found significant evidence of assortative
    mating for height (θ = 3.2%) and educational attainment (θ = 2.7%), both of which
    were consistent with theoretical predictions. Overall, our results imply that
    assortative mating involves multiple traits and affects the genomic architecture
    of loci that are associated with these traits, and that the consequence of mate
    choice can be detected from a random sample of genomes.@eng
