We share a lot of our ideas, code, datasets (that we spend years sanitizing) early. Often way before we release preprints. We do this so that others can use, build on, improve & even "beat" our approaches. But I want to say a few things about some simple expectations 1/

Hey, a question for the genetics community. Does genetic fine-mapping work well? How often does it miss?

We usually find that most fine-mapped variants do not fall within coding or regulatory regions. Is it a limitation of epigenomics or a limitation of fine-mapping? Please share your thoughts!
