Genomic Exploration of Essential Hypertension in African-Brazilian Quilombo Populations: A Comprehensive Approach with Pedigree Analysis and Family-Based Association Studies

This study identifies genetic loci and candidate genes associated with essential hypertension in African-Brazilian Quilombo populations using genome-wide linkage analysis and family-based association studies.

Comparative gene pathway analysis during adolescent binge-EtOH exposure, withdrawal, and following abstinence

The paper analyzes RNA-seq data from rats to identify gene pathways affected by binge EtOH exposure, withdrawal, and abstinence, revealing distinct effects on neuroinflammation, sleep, and bioenergetics.

Quality Control and Integration of Genotypes from Two Calling Pipelines for Whole Genome Sequence Data in the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project

The paper describes the quality control and integration of genotype calls from two pipelines for whole genome sequencing data in the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project, resulting in a high-quality consensus dataset.
