Whole-genome sequencing harbors unprecedented potential for characterization of individual and family genetic variation. Here, we develop a novel synthetic human reference …
Population stratification (PS) is a primary consideration in studies of genetic determinants of human traits. Failure to control for PS may lead to confounding, causing a study to fail for …

The use of genomic information to better understand and prevent common complex diseases has been an ongoing goal of genetic research. Over the past few years, research …
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) leverage the genetic contribution of an individual's genotype to a complex trait by estimating disease risk. Traditional PRS prediction methods are …
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are central to the development of precision medicine. However, decades of Euro-centric genomics research have paved the way for disparities in …

There has been an increasing interest in joint association testing of multiple traits for possible pleiotropic effects. However, even in the presence of pleiotropy, most of the existing …
Introductory paragraph The inclusion of genetic data in large studies has enabled the discovery of genetic contributions to complex traits and their application in applied analyses …
