New TWAS Method Helps Analyze Data From Multiple Genetic Ancestries
Researchers found that their "multi-ancestry transcriptome-wide analysis" (METRO) approach could pick up complex trait associations using gene expression and GWAS data.
Polygenic Risk Scores for Breast, Prostate Cancer Adaptable for Cross-Ancestry Use, Study Shows
The researchers said the approach could be a short-term measure while genetic studies of more diverse ancestral populations are performed.
Current RNA-seq methods that use cDNA conversion are missing important information in SARS-CoV-2 genomes and other significant RNA molecules, researchers say.
