Benefits and limitations of genome-wide association studies
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involve testing genetic variants across the
genomes of many individuals to identify genotype–phenotype associations. GWAS have …

[HTML][HTML] An expanded view of complex traits: from polygenic to omnigenic
A central goal of genetics is to understand the links between genetic variation and disease.
Intuitively, one might expect disease-causing variants to cluster into key pathways that drive …
