Gene expression in African Americans and Latinos reveals ancestry-specific patterns of genetic architecture

The paper analyzes gene expression in African American and Latino children to show ancestry-specific genetic architecture and highlights the benefits of diverse genomic studies.

On the cross-population generalizability of gene expression prediction models

The paper tests gene expression prediction models' performance across populations and finds poor generalizability to African Americans compared to European Americans.

A Genome-wide Association and Admixture Mapping Study of Bronchodilator Drug Response in African Americans with Asthma

This study identifies genetic variants associated with bronchodilator drug response in African Americans with asthma, finding both population-specific and shared genetic factors across African American and Latino populations.

Genetic Determinants of Telomere Length in African American Youth

This study conducts the first genome-wide association study of telomere length in African American youth, finding a novel association and failing to replicate previous findings in adults and European children.

Whole Genome Sequencing of Pharmacogenetic Drug Response in Racially and Ethnically Diverse Children with Asthma

This study identifies pharmacogenetic variants associated with albuterol bronchodilator response in minority children with asthma using whole genome sequencing.
