Excited to see our (w/ @chr1sw.bsky.social) work published in @natcomputsci.nature.com! We developed a new framework, surrogate functional false discovery rate (sffdr), that integrates summary statistics of related traits to improve power in GWASs.

Differential co-expression arises from shared unmodeled biological variation involving an observed risk factor and an unobserved (or latent) factor. We developed a method to detect such variation in a pathway for general gene expression studies!

The "missing" heritability of complex traits may be partly explained by genetic variants interacting with other genes or environments that are difficult to specify, observe, and detect. We propose a n...
