The paper introduces tools for automated identification and registration of anatomical landmarks in C. elegans using brightfield images, enabling high-throughput morphometric analysis.

This study identifies two novel Alzheimer's disease-associated genes, DTNB and DLG2, by analyzing rare variants in whole-genome sequencing data from AD family datasets.

The paper introduces a framework for region-based association testing in family-based studies, showing improved performance over existing methods in simulations and a real dataset.

The paper identifies two SARS-CoV-2 genome loci associated with increased COVID-19 mortality risk using logistic regression on whole-genome sequencing data.

This study examines the contribution of protein-coding de novo mutations to schizophrenia risk using whole-exome sequencing data from parent-offspring trios, finding a modest but polygenic effect.
