Exploring the phenotypic consequences of tissue specific gene expression variation inferred from GWAS summary statistics.

Alvaro N. Barbeira, +263 more
TL;DR: A mathematical expression is derived to compute PrediXcan results using summary data, and the effects of gene expression variation on human phenotypes in 44 GTEx tissues and >100 phenotypes are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying causal variants at loci with multiple signals of association.

TL;DR: This work proposes a new statistical framework that allows for the possibility of an arbitrary number of causal variants when estimating the posterior probability of a variant being causal, and validate the approach using empirical data from an expression QTL study of CHI3L2 to identify new causal variants that affect gene expression at this locus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and environmental control of host-gut microbiota interactions

TL;DR: It is concluded that, in a controlled environment, the genetic background accounts for a substantial fraction of abundance of most common microbiota, and loci controlling microbiota composition are mapped and prioritized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Co-expression networks reveal the tissue-specific regulation of transcription and splicing

Ashis Saha, +259 more
- 11 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: These networks are built that additionally capture the regulation of relative isoform abundance and splicing, along with tissue-specific connections unique to each of a diverse set of tissues, and provide an improved understanding of the complex relationships of the human transcriptome across tissues.
