Multi-ancestry transcriptome prediction with functionally informed variants in TOPMed MESA improves performance of transcriptome-wide association studies.
Lappalainen Lab
Tuuli Lappalainen’s lab studies functional genetic variation in human populations. It is particularly interested in regulatory variation affecting the transcriptome, as well as cellular mechanisms underlying genetic associations to disease. The lab integrates computational analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data with population genetic and experimental analysis.
