TDP-43 and FUS/TLS: emerging roles in RNA processing and neurodegeneration.

abstract：:Motivated by the overwhelming success of genome-wide association studies, droves of researchers are working vigorously to exchange and to combine genetic data to expediently discover genetic risk factors for common human traits. The primary tools that fuel these new efforts are imputation, allowing researchers who hav...
