The paper integrates GWAS data with a CRISPRi screen in osteoblasts to identify genes affecting bone mineral density and reveals pleiotropy across non-bone tissues.

This study shows that A. baumannii uses ornithine to compete with gut microbiota and persist in mice, with dietary ornithine promoting its carriage.

This paper identifies shared and unique chromatin accessibility and 3D interactions of SUD loci, implicating non-neural cell types like pancreatic β-cells and showing a causal link between T2D and AUD.

This study identifies 59 genome-wide significant loci for skull bone mineral density, including four novel loci, and links them to osteoporosis and craniofacial developmental defects.

The paper identifies 40 novel genetic loci associated with longitudinal pediatric bone accrual and identifies candidate effector genes through variant-to-gene mapping and functional validation.
