This study conducts GWAS on blood pressure traits in 140,559 admixed Mexican adults, identifying novel genetic signals and highlighting ancestry-specific heterogeneity.

This study maps MHC-pQTL across ancestries, identifying genetic associations with plasma proteins and linking HLA genes to immune-related traits.

This study identifies 19 CNV associations with anthropometric and cardiometabolic traits in 94,730 Chinese adults, expanding ancestry diversity in CNV research.

This study identifies 86 T2D GWAS associations in 125,000 admixed Mexican adults, including 21 novel signals, and highlights the role of common regulatory variation in the endocrine pancreas.

This study examines polygenic scores for schizophrenia and major depression in Chinese adults, finding associations with various traits and highlighting ancestry-specific genetic correlations.

This paper introduces HLA-colocalization, a method for genetic colocalization at the HLA locus using HLA alleles, showing it identifies novel causal associations between viruses and autoimmune diseases.

The paper investigates historical coronavirus selection events using genetic data from China Kadoorie Biobank and UK Biobank, finding enrichment of virus-interacting genes in East Asians but not in UKB.

This study examines the genetic structure of Ethiopians, linking cultural and geographic factors to genetic diversity and intermixing across 68 ethnic groups.
