One of the most important tasks in genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) is the detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are related to target traits. With the development of sequencing technology, traditional statistical methods a...
Major progress in disease genetics has been made through genome-wide association studies (GWASs). One of the key tasks for post-GWAS analyses is to identify causal noncoding variants with regulatory function. Here, on the basis of >2000 functional fe...

An immense amount of observable diversity exists for all traits and across global populations. In the post-genomic era, equipped with efficient sequencing capabilities and better genotyping methods, we are now able to more fully appreciate how regula...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify genetic variants associated with traits or diseases. GWAS never directly link variants to regulatory mechanisms. Instead, the functional annotation of variants is typically inferred by post hoc analyses...
Many expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have been conducted to investigate the biological effects of variants in gene regulation. However, these eQTL studies may suffer from low or moderate statistical power and overly conservative fal...
Machine learning algorithms trained to predict the regulatory activity of nucleic acid sequences have revealed principles of gene regulation and guided genetic variation analysis. While the human genome has been extensively annotated and studied, mod...

BACKGROUND: Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.) is an underutilized pulse crop with good drought resistance traits. It is a rich source of protein. Conventional breeding methods for high yielding and abiotic stress tolerant germplasm are...

The standard approach to genetic mapping was supplemented by machine learning (ML) to establish the location of the rye gene associated with epicuticular wax formation (glaucous phenotype). Over 180 plants of the biparental F population were genotype...
Long non-coding RNA Knowledgebase (lncRNAKB) is an integrated resource for exploring lncRNA biology in the context of tissue-specificity and disease association. A systematic integration of annotations from six independent databases resulted in 77,19...
MOTIVATION: Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified thousands of variants for various traits, the causal variants and the mechanisms underlying the significant loci are largely unknown. In this study, we aim to predict non-co...
