2D association and integrative omics analysis in rice provides systems biology view in trait analysis. [PDF]
The interactions among genes and between genes and environment contribute significantly to the phenotypic variation of complex traits and may be possible explanations for missing heritability.

Transcriptome analysis of cortical tissue reveals shared sets of downregulated genes in autism and schizophrenia. [PDF]
Autism (AUT), schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BPD) are three highly heritable neuropsychiatric conditions. Clinical similarities and genetic overlap between the three disorders have been reported; however, the causes and the downstream effects ...

Transcriptome-wide association study of multiple myeloma identifies candidate susceptibility genes
Background While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of multiple myeloma (MM) have identified variants at 23 regions influencing risk, the genes underlying these associations are largely unknown. To identify candidate causal genes at these regions and

Antagonistic and cooperative AGO2-PUM interactions in regulating mRNAs. [PDF]
Approximately 1500 RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) profoundly impact mammalian cellular function by controlling distinct sets of transcripts, often using sequence-specific binding to 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) to regulate mRNA stability and translation ...

Transcriptome-wide association study of schizophrenia and chromatin activity yields mechanistic disease insights [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 100 risk loci for schizophrenia, but the causal mechanisms remain largely unknown. We performed a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) integrating a schizophrenia GWAS of 79,845 ...
