The paper investigates the role of the EPAS1 enhancer ENH5 in adipocytes, showing its conditional effects on thermogenesis and adipocyte differentiation under hypoxia and thermogenic stimulation.

This study integrates functional genomics and statistical fine-mapping to identify causal variants, regulatory elements, and effector genes for adult-onset and childhood-onset asthma.

The paper integrates GWAS data with functional genomic annotations of decidual stromal cells to identify loci and target genes associated with gestational duration and preterm birth.

The paper identifies a regulatory region near the IL33 gene that influences asthma risk through allele-specific expression and OCT-1 binding.

The paper generates promoter interaction maps in human iPSCs and cardiomyocytes to link CVD-associated SNPs to target genes, showing most SNPs interact with non-nearest genes.
