The author names are in order of contribution, i.e. first author has the major contribution, second author helped in writing the algorithms and third author is a research advisor.
A set of eight genes appears to have the highest impact on the model (FTL, FKBP8, TUBA3, PNPLA2, UBXD1, MARCH2, ITPK1, PINK1, in order of contribution; listed in bold in table 2).

In the health sciences more generally, authorship is often attributed in descending order of contribution [ 3] although other methods may also be applied (e.g., alphabetical order, principal investigator/team leader being senior last author) making distribution quite variable [ 30].
For each project, we derived a list of all contributing teams in the chronological order of their contributions.
