This study identifies 38 COPD GWAS loci with evidence of sQTLs, showing that sQTL analysis in whole blood and lung tissue provides novel insights into COPD mechanisms.

The paper shows vitamin D regulates two chromosomal loci linked to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by modulating gene expression and immune pathways.

This study identifies the genomic signatures of the unjamming transition in human bronchial epithelial cells using mechanical compression and RNA-Seq.

This study identifies peripheral blood microbial signatures associated with COPD and exacerbation phenotypes in smokers.

COMPASS identifies and quantifies small RNAs from sequencing data, showing greater diversity and abundance compared to existing tools in a human serum dataset.

The paper identifies FBXO38 as a novel COPD susceptibility gene by analyzing genetically driven alternative splicing and finding a protective exon associated with COPD risk.

The paper identifies ACVR1B as a candidate causal gene for emphysema distribution by integrating GWAS, eQTL, and epigenomic data.
