The role of voltage-gated sodium channels in pain signaling
Acute pain signaling has a key protective role and is highly evolutionarily conserved.
Chronic pain, however, is maladaptive, occurring as a consequence of injury and disease …

Current challenges in understanding the role of enhancers in disease
Enhancers play a central role in the spatiotemporal control of gene expression and tend to
work in a cell-type-specific manner. In addition, they are suggested to be major contributors …

Combining SNP-to-gene linking strategies to identify disease genes and assess disease omnigenicity
Disease-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generally do not implicate
target genes, as most disease SNPs are regulatory. Many SNP-to-gene (S2G) linking …
