Publishing Bias, but look a little closer

Over the past few decades, hundreds of "genetic links" have been "found", largely through genome-wide association studies, in which the researchers look at hundreds of different genetic loci to find 1 or 2 that are more highly correlated in their study group vs. their control group, whether this be for intelligence, schizophrenia, "novelty-seeking", etc.  As I've already mentioned, these studies tend to crank out a lot of false positives, which even the scientific community is coming to terms with, as can be seen here.  So, since almost all of the hundreds of alleged genetic linkages have not been replicated, we might expect to see a lot of studies in the literature that give negative results, refuting the previous positive results.   In actuality, although we occasionally do see that, it is the exception rather than the rule.
