I'm excited to share our latest work, now out in #PLOSGenetics! If you feel limited by linear models in TWAS or PWAS but don't think you can switch to nonlinear methods due to a lack of individual-level phenotype data, this paper is for you. 🔗 journals.plos.org/plosgenetics... Thread below 👇 (1/6)

Most disease-associated GWAS signals fall in the non-coding genome🧬 Although assumed to influence expression, pinpointing the causal gene isn't easy. Two ways include: 1⃣eQTL mapping in relevant tissues/cells 2⃣in vitro CRISPRi screens This preprint compares the two👇

We've just posted an updated version of our metabolic trait GWAS preprint. The GWAS summary statistics are still the same as in October, but we've included several new follow-up analyses and completely rewritten the manuscript! See thread below for some highlights. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
