UNLABELLED: High-throughput sequencing technologies survey genetic variation at genome scale and are increasingly used to study the contribution of rare and low-frequency genetic variants to human traits. As part of the Cohorts...

Estimating telomere length from whole genome sequence data.
Telomeres play a key role in replicative ageing and undergo age-dependent attrition in vivo. Here, we report a novel method, TelSeq, to measure average telomere length from whole genome or exome shotgun sequence data. In 260...

Timing, rates and spectra of human germline mutation.
Germline mutations are a driving force behind genome evolution and genetic disease. We investigated genome-wide mutation rates and spectra in multi-sibling families. The mutation rate increased with paternal age in all families...

Low Frequency Synonymous Coding Variation in CYP2R1 has Large Effects on Vitamin D Level and Risk of Multiple Sclerosis

Vitamin D insufficiency is common, correctable and influenced by genetic factors, and it has been associated with risk of several diseases. We sought to identify low-frequency genetic variants that strongly increased the risk of...

Distinct genetic architectures for syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital heart defects identified by exome sequencing.
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have a neonatal incidence of 0.8-1% (refs. 1,2). Despite abundant examples of monogenic CHD in humans and mice, CHD has a low absolute sibling recurrence risk (∼2.7%), suggesting a considerable...

Whole-Genome Sequencing Coupled to Imputation Discovers Genetic Signals for Anthropometric Traits
Deep sequence-based imputation can enhance the discovery power of genome-wide association studies by assessing previously unexplored variation across the common- and low-frequency spectra. We applied a hybrid whole-genome...
