High-throughput phenotypic characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa membrane transport genes.

abstract：:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 40 loci that affect risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the causal mechanisms at the majority of loci are unknown. Recent studies have suggested that many causal GWAS variants influence disease through altered transcriptional regulation in disease-relev...
