Multiple recent studies highlight that genetic variants can have strong impacts on a
significant proportion of the human DNA methylome. Methylation quantitative trait loci, or …

Cytosine methylation is a DNA modification generally associated with transcriptional
silencing. Factors that regulate methylation have been linked to human disease, yet how …

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease is a prevalent age-related polygenic disease that accounts
for 50–70% of dementia cases. Currently, only a fraction of the genetic variants underlying …

Many gene expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies have published their summary
statistics, which can be used to gain insight into complex human traits by downstream …

Studies of DNA methylation (DNAm) in solid human tissues are relatively scarce; tissue-
specific characterization of DNAm is needed to understand its role in gene regulation and its …

Genome-wide association studies have discovered numerous genomic loci associated with
Alzheimer's disease (AD); yet the causal genes and variants are incompletely identified. We …

Most variants associated with complex traits and diseases identified by genome-wide
association studies (GWAS) map to noncoding regions of the genome with unknown effects …

Characterizing genetic influences on DNA methylation (DNAm) provides an opportunity to
understand mechanisms underpinning gene regulation and disease. In the present study …

The incomplete identification of structural variants (SVs) from whole-genome sequencing
data limits studies of human genetic diversity and disease association. Here, we apply a …

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes have well-established and important impacts on
molecular and cellular functions. However, among the thousands of lncRNA genes, it is still …
