This study analyzes RNA from cervical biopsies to identify gene expression changes and survival associations during cervical cancer progression in Guatemala.

This study maps expression and splicing QTLs in East Africans and finds population-specific genetic variation related to immunity, metabolism, and pigmentation.

The paper identifies a Neandertal introgressed haplotype in the OAS1 gene associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19 and shows it impairs SARS-CoV-2 clearance through genetic regulation of OAS1 expression.

This study shows that APOBEC mutagenesis occurs in both tumor and viral genomes in HPV+ OPSCC, suggesting a direct link between viral restriction and host mutations.

The paper identifies a West African-associated regulatory variant with a strong female-specific effect on BMI and fat mass in Brazilian admixed populations.

This study provides genome-wide data for the Ukrainian population, identifying novel genetic variants and highlighting its unique genetic diversity.

This study examines intratumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution in papillary renal cell carcinomas using whole-genome sequencing and DNA methylation data, revealing distinct patterns of genomic and epigenomic evolution across subtypes.

The paper analyzes African genetic contributions to the Americas, showing regional ancestry patterns and admixture dynamics linked to historical factors.
