[HTML][HTML] A survey of best practices for RNA-seq data analysis
Abstract RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) has a wide variety of applications, but no single
analysis pipeline can be used in all cases. We review all of the major steps in RNA-seq data …

Integrative approaches for large-scale transcriptome-wide association studies
Many genetic variants influence complex traits by modulating gene expression, thus altering
the abundance of one or multiple proteins. Here we introduce a powerful strategy that …

[PDF][PDF] Colocalization of GWAS and eQTL signals detects target genes
The vast majority of genome-wide association study (GWAS) risk loci fall in non-coding
regions of the genome. One possible hypothesis is that these GWAS risk loci alter the …
