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.

Admixture mapping identifies complex trait associations with local ancestry in the All of Us Research Program

This study uses admixture mapping in the All of Us Research Program to identify local ancestry associations with complex traits, finding distinct patterns between African and Native American ancestry.

Characterization of shared and ancestry-specific signals driving complex traits using multi-ancestry fine-mapping

The paper introduces PIPSORT, a method to detect shared and ancestry-specific genetic signals in complex traits, and applies it to GWAS data from diverse populations.
