The GTEx Consortium atlas of genetic regulatory effects across human tissues

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project dissects how genetic variation affects gene expression and splicing.

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project.

Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of loci for common diseases, but, for the majority of these, the mechanisms underlying disease susceptibility remain un...

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) pilot analysis: Multitissue gene regulation in humans

Expression, genetic variation, and tissues Human genomes show extensive genetic variation across individuals, but we have only just started documenting the effects of this varia...

Transcriptome and genome sequencing uncovers functional variation in humans

Analysis of protein-coding genetic variation in 60,706 humans

A Systematic Survey of Loss-of-Function Variants in Human Protein-Coding Genes

Defective Gene Detective Identifying genes that give rise to diseases is one of the major goals of sequencing human genomes. However, putative loss-of-function genes, which are ...

Guidelines for investigating causality of sequence variants in human disease

A framework for the interpretation of de novo mutation in human disease

Quantifying prion disease penetrance using large population control cohorts

Large genomic reference data sets reveal a spectrum of pathogenicity in the prion protein gene and provide genetic validation for a therapeutic strategy in prion disease.

Estimating the selective effects of heterozygous protein-truncating variants from human exome data

Quantifying the Impact of Rare and Ultra-rare Coding Variation across the Phenotypic Spectrum

There is a limited understanding about the impact of rare protein-truncating variants across multiple phenotypes. We explore the impact of this class of variants on 13 quantitat...

Origins and functional impact of copy number variation in the human genome

Structural variations of DNA greater than 1 kilobase in size account for most bases that vary among human genomes, but are still relatively under-ascertained. Here we use tiling...
