Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus

A large number of SARS-related coronaviruses (SARSr-CoV) have been detected in horseshoe bats since 2005 in different areas of China. However, these bat SARSr-CoVs show sequence...

The genetics of blood pressure regulation and its target organs from association studies in 342,415 individuals

To dissect the genetic architecture of blood pressure and assess effects on target organ damage, we analyzed 128,272 SNPs from targeted and genome-wide arrays in 201,529 individ...

Characterising the loss-of-function impact of 5’ untranslated region variants in 15,708 individuals

Abstract Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are tissue-specific cis -regulators of protein translation. Isolated reports have shown that variants that create or disrupt uORFs ...
