New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2010
Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for fasting glucose, fasting insulin and indices of beta-cell function ...

Spatial Heterogeneity in Methane Biogeochemistry and Prokaryotic Community Structure in Sub‐Arctic Waterbodies in Northern Canada

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
Prokaryotic communities and methane dynamics differed markedly across 16 sub‐Arctic waterbodies. Maximum depth and permafrost thaw emerged as key drivers, with non‐stratified thaw‐affected sites hosting distinct communities and elevated methane fluxes, highlighting their potential role as emerging hotspots of methane emissions.

Exploring the phenotypic consequences of tissue specific gene expression variation inferred from GWAS summary statistics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Scalable, integrative methods to understand mechanisms that link genetic variants with phenotypes are needed. Here we derive a mathematical expression to compute PrediXcan (a gene mapping approach) results using summary data (S-PrediXcan) and show its ...
