TL;DR: In a large population-based cohort data, adults with asthma had a higher risk of severe COVID-19, which was driven by the increased risk among patients with non-allergic asthma.

TL;DR: Comparative experiments demonstrated that the XGBoost method has a remarkable performance in predicting the stage of cancer patients with multi-omics data and identification of novel candidate genes associated with cancer stages would contribute to further elucidate disease pathogenesis and develop novel therapeutics.

TL;DR: Data provide substantial new evidence for genetic susceptibility to this B cell malignancy and point to pathways involved in immune recognition and immune function in the pathogenesis of DLBCL.

TL;DR: It is found that locus-specific methylation differences between tissues are highly consistent across individuals and large-scale epidemiology studies using easy-to-access surrogate tissues could be recalibrated to improve understanding of epigenetics in hard- to-access tissues.
