Uncovering causal genes for human inherited diseases, as the primary step toward understanding the pathogenesis of these diseases, requires a combined analysis of genetic and genomic data. Although bioinformatics methods have been designed to prioritize candidate genes resulting from genetic linkage analysis or association studies, the coverage of both diseases and genes in existing methods is ...

In times of unprecedented climate change, ecological restoration efforts have a strong focus on forests for the purpose carbon sequestration. Grasslands, in contrast, remain relatively neglected global policies. Concurrently, we are midst biodiversity crisis—it is estimated that 1 million species globally threatened with extinction. Here, present analyses from central Europe and southern Brazil...
