Large-scale genome- and phenome-wide analyses reveal the genetic architecture, pathophysiology and comorbidity of restless legs syndrome

Xiaoxi Jing, Zi Wang, Jacob Williams…·Yajie Zhao

This study identifies 15 novel RLS-associated loci and links them to neurodevelopmental programs, while revealing over 100 comorbidities and brain structural associations through genome- and phenome-wide analyses.

Genome-wide maps of transcription factor footprints identify noncoding variants rewiring gene regulatory networks

Jiecong Lin, Wenyang Dong, Jiaxiang Zhang…·Yajie Zhao

The paper identifies noncoding variants that alter gene regulatory networks using a combination of single-molecule deaminase footprinting and variant effect prediction, applied to UK Biobank genomes.
