OBJECTIVES: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune disease with both known and unidentified genetic contributors. While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated multiple loci, many reside in noncoding regions. We aimed to iden...
Biobanks linking genetic data with clinical health records provide exciting opportunities for pharmacogenomic (PGx) research on genetic variation and drug response. Designed as central and multiuse resources, biobanks can facilitate diverse PGx resea...
In modern intensive caged laying hen production, variations in egg-laying time (ELT) among layers often increase the workload for egg collection, thereby raising the costs of labor or power and reducing overall efficiency. For management purpose, ear...
Mendelian randomization (MR) enables the estimation of causal effects while controlling for unmeasured confounding factors. However, traditional MR's reliance on strong parametric assumptions can introduce bias if these are violated. We describe a ma...
For important food crops such as the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.), global demand continues to outpace the rate of genetic gain for quantitative traits. In this study, we leveraged the multi-environment trial (MET) dataset from the cooperative...
Plant DNA methylation changes occur hundreds to thousands of times faster than DNA mutations and can be transmitted transgenerationally, making them useful for studying population-scale patterns in clonal or selfing species. However, a state-of-the-a...
BACKGROUND: The incidence and mortality of endometrial cancer (EC) is on the rise. Eighty-five percent of ECs depend on estrogen receptor alpha (ERĪ±) for proliferation, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation in these tumors.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly integrated into imaging genetics to provide intermediate phenotypes (i.e. endophenotypes) that bridge the genetics and clinical manifestations of human disease. However, the genetic architecture of t...
Machine learning (ML) has garnered significant attention for its potential to enhance the accuracy of genomic predictions (GPs) in various economic crops with the use of complete genomic information. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely ...
