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.

Multi-tissue transcriptome-wide association studies. [PDF]
A transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) attempts to identify disease associated genes by imputing gene expression into a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data set and then testing for ...

Mergeomics: a web server for identifying pathological pathways, networks, and key regulators via multidimensional data integration [PDF]
Background: Human diseases are commonly the result of multidimensional changes at molecular, cellular, and systemic levels. Recent advances in genomic technologies have enabled an outpour of omics datasets that capture these changes.

Controlling bias and inflation in epigenome- and transcriptome-wide association studies using the empirical null distribution [PDF]
We show that epigenome- and transcriptome-wide association studies (EWAS and TWAS) are prone to significant inflation and bias of test statistics, an unrecognized phenomenon introducing spurious findings if left unaddressed.

TWAS revealed significant causal loci for milk production and its composition in Murrah buffaloes
Milk yield is the most complex trait in dairy animals, and mapping all causal variants even with smallest effect sizes has been difficult with the genome-wide association study (GWAS) sample sizes available in geographical regions with small livestock ...

Incorporating Sex Chromosomes in Transcriptome Prediction Models and Improving Cross-Population Prediction Performance [PDF]
Transcriptome prediction models built with data from European-descent individuals are less accurate when applied to different populations because of differences in linkage disequilibrium patterns and allele frequencies.

Integration of Transcriptome-Wide Association Study With Neuronal Dysfunction Assays Provides Functional Genomics Evidence for Parkinson’s Disease Genes [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have markedly advanced our understanding of the genetics of Parkinson\u27s disease (PD), but they currently do not account for the full heritability of PD.
