Statistical fine-mapping helps narrow down a GWAS hit to a smaller set of potentially causal genetic variants and works well on data from relatively homogeneous populations. Kai Yuan, Tian Ge, Hailiang Huang, and colleagues have developed a technique, SuSiEx, for cross-population fine-mapping. The method integrates data from multiple ancestries, models population specific allele frequencies and […]
NIMH awarded Dr. Kai Yuan a K99/R00 award: Whole chromosome fine-mapping integrating diverse ancestries for psychiatric disorders. Statistical fine-mapping identifies a handful of putative causal variants from hundreds of GWAS loci for psychiatric disorders, but current findings are primarily based on analysis of the European cohort, leading to bias in causal genetic variant discovery and […]

Ruifei Zhu joined Huang Lab as a Computational Associate I on March 1st, 2024. Ruifei received her Master’s degrees from Boston University and Imperial College London, and her Bachelor’s degree from Jiangnan University.
Working with our collaborators in Taiwan and US, Mingrui Yu, Hailiang Huang and others published “Analysis across Taiwan Biobank, Biobank Japan, and UK Biobank identifies hundreds of novel loci for 36 quantitative traits” in Cell Genomics. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified tens of thousands of genetic loci associated with human complex traits. However, the […]
