    Naoto Kubota, Mikita Suyama
    PLoS Comput. Biol. 18(8): e1010436. 2022.

    • We proposed a new method for identifying genomic loci associated with promoter activities, called promoter usage quantitative trait loci (puQTL), using conventional RNA-seq data.

    bioRxiv 2021.03.22.436360; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.22.436360

    • We integrated hematopoietic transcription factor (TF) footprints datasets generated by ENCODE project with multiple quantitative trait locus (QTL) datasets (eQTL, caQTL, bQTL, and hQTL) and investigated the associations of functional variants and immune system disease risk.

    Naoto Kubota, Mikita Suyama
    BMC Med. Genomics 13, 8, 2020.

    • We developed a pipeline by integrating publicly available datasets provided by GWAS Catalog, FANTOM5, GTEx, SNP2TFBS, and DeepBlue to to survey psoriasis-associated functional variants that might affect protein functions or gene expression levels.
