Researchers have developed a method called PoPS (Polygenic Prioritization of Gene Features) that leverages polygenic enrichments of gene features to predict genes underlying complex traits and diseases. The method utilizes various data sources, including genetic association studies, gene expression data, and functional annotations, to prioritize candidate genes. The researchers have made the processed gene features, visualizations, and code available on GitHub, as well as the PoPS results for multiple complex traits and diseases. This approach provides a valuable tool for understanding the genetic basis of complex traits and diseases.
