Haplotype-based fine-mapping of variant associations for complex traits

This paper introduces a haplotype-based fine-mapping method called happler to identify causal variants for complex traits, showing improved performance over traditional methods in detecting haplotype effects.

Estimating the cis-heritability of gene expression using single cell expression profiles controls false positive rate of eGene detection

The paper introduces scGeneHE, a method to estimate cis-heritability from scRNA-seq data, reducing false positives in eGene detection.

Polymorphic short tandem repeats make widespread contributions to blood and serum traits

The paper identifies 119 high-confidence STR-trait associations across 93 STRs for blood and serum traits using imputed genotypes from UK Biobank data.

Discovering single nucleotide variants and indels from bulk and single-cell ATAC-seq

This study evaluates variant callers on ATAC-seq data to discover SNVs and indels, finding VarCA outperforms individual callers in both bulk and single-cell data.
