Despite being best known for their role in taste sensing1, T2Rs and T1Rs have been identified in various extra-oral tissues where they serve diverse chemosensory roles17,18,19,20,21,22,48. Emerging data on the role of taste receptors in malignancy led us to explore the genetic and expression alterations for solid tumors and implications…

NEW YORK – A team from Stanford University and other centers in the US and China have demonstrated that polygenic risk scores (PRS) based on common variants can be bolstered by incorporating clues from rare variants linked to significant gene expression shifts, dubbed expression outliers. “As individual PRS estimates are…

Using information from allele-specific gene expression (ASE) can improve the power to map gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). However, such practice has been limited, partly due to computational challenges and lack of clarification on the size of power gain or new findings besides improved power. We have developed geoP,…
