Large-scale cis- and trans-eQTL analyses identify thousands of genetic loci and polygenic scores that regulate blood gene expression
Trait-associated genetic variants affect complex phenotypes primarily via regulatory
mechanisms on the transcriptome. To investigate the genetics of gene expression, we …

Leveraging fine-mapping and multipopulation training data to improve cross-population polygenic risk scores
Polygenic risk scores suffer reduced accuracy in non-European populations, exacerbating
health disparities. We propose PolyPred, a method that improves cross-population …
