Low-pass sequencing increases the power of GWAS and decreases measurement error of polygenic risk scores compared to genotyping arrays

Jeremiah H. Li, Chase A. Mazur, Tomaz Berisa, Joseph K. Pickrell

This study compares low-pass sequencing and genotyping arrays for GWAS and polygenic risk scores, finding sequencing provides higher power and accuracy.

Comparing low-pass sequencing and genotyping for trait mapping in pharmacogenetics

Kaja A. Wasik, Tomaz Berisa, Joseph K. Pickrell, Jeremiah H. Li, Dana J. Fraser, Karen S. King, Charles J. Cox

This study compares low-pass sequencing and genotyping arrays for pharmacogenetic trait mapping, finding that low-pass sequencing at 0.4x coverage achieves comparable imputation accuracy to genotyping arrays.

Relative matching using low coverage sequencing

Ella Petter, Regev Schweiger, Bar Shahino, Tal Shor, Malka Aker, Lior Almog, Daphna Weissglas‐Volkov, Yoav Naveh, Oron Navon, Shai Carmi, Jeremiah H. Li, Tomaz Berisa, Joseph K. Pickrell, Yaniv Erlich

This study shows that low coverage sequencing can effectively match relatives with genotyping arrays, achieving similar accuracy for close relatives and strong correlation for distant ones.

Detection and interpretation of shared genetic influences on 40 human traits

Joseph K. Pickrell, Tomaz Berisa, Laure Segurel, Joyce Y. Tung, David Hinds

This study identifies 307 genetic loci influencing multiple human traits and finds shared genetic causes between traits like BMI and height, and causal relationships between BMI and triglycerides.
