Detecting Epistasis with the Marginal Epistasis Test in Genetic Mapping Studies of Quantitative Traits

TL;DR: A novel, alternative strategy for mapping epistasis is presented: instead of directly identifying individual pairwise or higher-order interactions, this work focuses on mapping variants that have non-zero marginal epistatic effects — the combined pairwise interaction effects between a given variant and all other variants.

Accuracy, Robustness and Scalability of Dimensionality Reduction Methods for Single Cell RNAseq Analysis

TL;DR: This work compared 18 different DR methods on 30 publicly available scRNAseq data sets that cover a range of sequencing techniques and sample sizes and evaluated the performance of different DR Methods for neighborhood preserving in terms of their ability to recover features of the original expression matrix.

Genetic investigation of fibromuscular dysplasia identifies risk loci and shared genetics with common cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: This paper performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis of Fibromuscular dysplasia to identify genetic loci, some of which are shared with common cardiovascular disease and traits.

Bayesian Approximate Kernel Regression with Variable Selection

TL;DR: A novel framework that provides an effect size analog for each explanatory variable in Bayesian kernel regression models when the kernel is shift-invariant—for example, the Gaussian kernel.
