GWAS aim to identify the "effector" genes that have key roles in disease, but we found little consistency in these prediction efforts, impairing their usefulness. Here's our "call to arms" to the research community. Thanks to @ericfauman.bsky.social for many inspiring discussions over the years!
Realizing the promise of genome-wide association studies for effector gene prediction
Nature Genetics - This Perspective argues that predicting effector genes for complex diseases is a key outcome of genetic association studies where standards are urgently needed to maximize...
