Fast two-stage phasing of large-scale sequence data
Haplotype phasing is the estimation of haplotypes from genotype data. We present a fast,
accurate, and memory-efficient haplotype phasing method that scales to large-scale SNP …

Trans-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of prostate cancer identifies new susceptibility loci and informs genetic risk prediction
Prostate cancer is a highly heritable disease with large disparities in incidence rates across
ancestry populations. We conducted a multiancestry meta-analysis of prostate cancer …
