Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women, reflecting
profound disease heterogeneity, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Over the last …

There are well-established disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes by race/ethnicity
that result from the interplay between structural, socioeconomic, socio-environmental …

Current catalogs of regulatory sequences in the human genome are still incomplete and lack
cell type resolution. To profile the activity of gene regulatory elements in diverse cell types …

Garrod's concept of 'chemical individuality'has contributed to comprehension of the
molecular origins of human diseases. Untargeted high-throughput metabolomic …

Disease-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generally do not implicate
target genes, as most disease SNPs are regulatory. Many SNP-to-gene (S2G) linking …

Implementation of polygenic risk scores (PRS) may improve disease prevention and
management but poses several challenges: the construction of clinically valid assays …

Annotating the molecular basis of human disease remains an unsolved challenge, as 93%
of disease loci are non-coding and gene-regulatory annotations are highly incomplete …

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project was established to characterize genetic
effects on the transcriptome across human tissues and to link these regulatory mechanisms …

Genetic variation can predispose to disease both through (i) monogenic risk variants that
disrupt a physiologic pathway with large effect on disease and (ii) polygenic risk that …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed important biological insights into
complex diseases, which are broadly expected to lead to the identification of new drug …
