The paper investigates how venom vesicles from Ganaspis hookeri parasitoid wasps facilitate the entry of venom proteins, including SERCA, into host immune cells to suppress immune responses.

This paper conducts a multi-ancestry time-to-event GWAS to identify genetic variants associated with incident cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes, finding three novel loci and confirming known CAD variants.

This study identifies 135 genomic loci associated with venous thromboembolism risk through cross-ancestry GWAS and provides insights into biological pathways and potential therapeutic targets.

The paper estimates heritability for height and BMI using whole-genome sequence data and finds that rare variants contribute significantly to the missing heritability.

The paper describes a system for harmonizing phenotype data across multiple studies in the TOPMed program, enabling reproducible and shared phenotype data for over 80 studies.

This study identifies two genetic loci, GDF5 and COL27A1, associated with knee pain through a genome-wide association analysis in the UK Biobank and replication in other cohorts.

The paper identifies loss-of-function variants affecting liver-related blood traits that reduce CVD risk without increasing metabolic disease risk, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

This paper conducts a genome-wide meta-analysis of chronic back pain in 158,025 individuals, identifying three genetic loci associated with the condition.
