TITLE: "Fast estimation of genetic correlation for Biobank-scale data" ABSTRACT: Genetic correlation is an important parameter in understanding the shared genetic basis across pairs of complex traits with applications ranging across disease subtyping, genetic prediction, and causal inference. The availability of genome-wide genetic data has led to a number of methods that aim to estimate genetic […]

TITLE: "Determining mRNA nuclear export kinetics reveals a wide range of values associated with innate immune response genes" ABSTRACT: The abundance and stimulus-responsiveness of mature mRNA is known to be determined by nuclear synthesis and cytoplasmic decay. However, nuclear processing and export events and may also contribute.  Here, we investigated the role nuclear export rates […]
