Genetic analysis in African ancestry populations reveals genetic contributors to lung cancer susceptibility
We performed a comprehensive genetic analysis of lung cancer in 6,490 individuals of African ancestry. We identified four genomic regions not previously associated with lung cancer and used in silico ...

Genetically regulated eRNA expression predicts chromatin contact frequency and reveals genetic mechanisms at GWAS loci - Nature Communications
Here, the authors present trained models of genetically regulated enhancer RNA expression, finding that genetically regulated expression predicts chromatin contact frequency and that enhancer RNAs pla...

A prognostic molecular signature of hepatic steatosis is spatially heterogeneous and dynamic in human liver
Perry et al. use a translational approach across phenotypes, outcomes, circulating proteomics, and tissue transcriptomics to identify functional biomarkers of hepatic steatosis. These markers are asso...
