The Sequence Alignment/Map format and SAMtools (2009)

Li, Heng, Handsaker, Bob, Wysoker, Alec, Fennell, Tim, Ruan, Jue, Homer, Nils, ...

Summary: The Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format is a generic alignment format for storing read alignments against reference sequences, supporting short and long reads (up to 128 Mbp) produced by...

Genetic susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration: a paradigm for dissecting complex disease traits (2007)

Swaroop, Anand, Branham, Kari EH, Chen, Wei, Abecasis, Goncalo

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which affects quality of life for millions of elderly individuals worldwide. AMD is associated with a diverse...

Heritability of Cardiovascular and Personality Traits in 6,148 Sardinians (2006)

Giuseppe Pilia, Weimin Chen, Angelo Scuteri, Marco Orru, Giuseppe Albai, Mariano Dei, ...

In large samples, phenotypic similarities between relatives yield information on the overall contribution of genes to trait variation. Large samples are especially important to compare heritability...

Common Missense Variant in the Glucokinase Regulatory Protein Gene Is Associated With Increased Plasma Triglyceride and C-Reactive Protein but Lower Fasting Glucose Concentrations

Orho-Melander, Marju, Melander, Olle, Guiducci, Candace, Perez-Martinez, Pablo, Corella, Dolores, Roos, Charlotta, ...

OBJECTIVE—Using the genome-wide association approach, we recently identified the glucokinase regulatory protein gene (GCKR, rs780094) region as a novel quantitative trait locus for plasma...
