AbstractHuman genetics analysis has identified many noncoding SNPs associated with diabetic traits, but whether and how these variants contribute to diabetes is largely unknown. Here, we focus on a noncoding variant, rs6048205, and report that the risk-G variant impairs the generation of PDX1+/NKX6-1+ pancreatic progenitor cells and further results in the abnormal decrease of functional β cells during pancreatic differentiation.

1 Introduction Ensuring quality is a prerequisite for big data research and the foundation for data analysis, mining, and decision support (Wang, Huang, and Zhu 2014). Mobile phone location (MPL) data represent an important component of universal spatiotemporal big data. Broadly speaking, MPL data can be derived from location-aware devices that are included on mobile phones (e.g., a GPS chip and Wi-Fi) or mobile positioning techniques (Zhao et al. 2018).

AbstractGenetic prediction accuracy for non-European populations is hindered by the limited sample size of Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data in these populations. Additionally, it is challenging to tune model parameters with a small tuning dataset for methods that require tuning data, which is often the case for non-European samples.
