Comprehensive functional genome annotation is crucial to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of agronomic traits in livestock, yet systematic functional annotation of the sheep genome is lacking. Here, we generated 92 transcriptomic and epigenomic data sets from nine major tissues, along with whole-genome data from 2357 individuals across 29 breeds worldwide, and 4006 phenotypic data related to tail fat weight. We constructed the first multi-tissue epigenome atlas in terms of functional elements, chromatin states, and their functions and explored the utility of the functional elements in interpreting phenotypic variation during sheep domestication and improvement.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is affected by both environmental and genetic factors. Previous genetic association studies, especially genome-wide association studies, revealed a large group of AF-associated genes. However, little is known about the functions and interactions of these genes.

Background: Autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) encompass autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The onset of these diseases is fundamentally influenced by genetic susceptibility. Although various extrahepatic factors are potentially linked to AILDs, the genetic underpinnings and mechanisms of these associations remain unclear.

Background: Integrating multi-layered information can enhance the accuracy of genomic prediction for complex traits. However, the improvement and application of effective strategies for genomic prediction (GP) using multi-omics data remains challenging.
Methods: We generated 11 feature sets for sequencing variants from genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and epigenetics data in beef cattle, then we assessed the contribution of functional variants using genomic restricted maximum likelihood (GREML).

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a polygenic, severe metabopsychiatric disorder with poorly understood aetiology. Eight significant loci have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability was estimated to be ~ 11-17, yet causal variants remain elusive. It is therefore important to define the full spectrum of genetic variants in the wider regions surrounding these significantly associated loci.
