Rare coding variation implicates thirteen genes in bipolar disorder across 232,536 individuals from global populations

Analysis of Rare Coding Variation Identifies New Genetic Contributors to Schizophrenia

Ultra-rare damaging coding variants in 87,959 schizophrenia cases and 150,587 controls implicate 40 genes (16 exome-wide, 24 at 5% FDR), half overlapping autism, developmental delay or bipolar genes.

A blended genome and exome sequencing method captures genetic variation in an unbiased, high-quality, and cost-effective manner

The paper introduces BGE, a sequencing method that combines low-pass whole genome and deep whole exome data, showing high accuracy and cost-effectiveness for genetic variant discovery.

Genetic structure correlates with ethnolinguistic diversity in eastern and southern Africa

This study examines genetic structure in African populations using ethnolinguistic data, finding that language classifications better capture genetic variation than geography alone.

Low-coverage sequencing cost-effectively detects known and novel variation in underrepresented populations

This study shows low-coverage sequencing is more accurate and cost-effective than GWAS arrays for detecting genetic variation in diverse African populations.
