Nearly all trait-associated variants identified in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are noncoding. The cis regulatory effects of these variants have been extensively …
Given recent advances in the generation of high-throughput data such as whole-genome genetic variation and transcriptome expression, it is critical to come up with novel methods to …
Identifying the effector genes from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a crucial step towards understanding the biological mechanisms underlying complex traits and …
Integrative genetic association methods have shown great promise in post-GWAS (genome- wide association study) analyses, in which one of the most challenging tasks is identifying …
Most signals in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of complex traits point to noncoding genetic variants with putative gene regulatory effects. However, currently …
It remains unknown to what extent gene-gene interactions contribute to complex traits. Here, we introduce a new approach using predicted gene expression to perform exhaustive …
The contribution of genetic variants to a complex phenotype may be mediated by various forms of complicated interactions. Currently, the discovery of genetic variants underlying …
Trans-acting expression quantitative trait loci (trans-eQTLs) are genetic variants affecting the expression of distant genes. They account for≥ 70% expression heritability and could …
