This study identifies diet-temperature interactions that shape DNA methylation and gene regulation in brown adipose tissue, showing obesity limits cold-induced transcriptional responses.

OTTERS is a TWAS framework that uses summary-level eQTL reference data to estimate eQTL weights and perform omnibus TWAS, showing improved power and applicability.

The paper examines how lifestyle factors affect DNA methylation in blood, identifying DMPs and DMRs linked to lifestyle categories and biological pathways.

The paper uses blood eQTL meta-analysis to explore the polygenic architecture of complex traits, finding that trans-eQTLs are more informative for identifying causal genes than cis-eQTLs.

This paper introduces TWMR, a Mendelian Randomization method that identifies gene-trait associations by integrating GWAS and eQTL data, revealing 3,913 novel associations across 43 human phenotypes.

This study shows higher BMI correlates with altered hypothalamic microstructure in humans, independent of age, sex, and comorbidities.

This study examines the relationship between food addiction, obesity, and brain structure in a population-based sample, finding no significant neuroanatomical correlates of food addiction but some associations with BMI and orbitofrontal cortex thickness.

This study identifies 139 common and 4 rare genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes through GWAS and integrates gene expression and epigenomic data to highlight potential functional genes and regulatory mechanisms.

The paper identifies gene targets for brain-related traits using transcriptomic and methylomic data from blood, finding strong correlations between genetic effects in brain and blood tissues.
