PRISM: ancestry-aware integration of tissue-specific genomic annotations enhances the transferability of polygenic scores

In this study, led by Xiaohe (Lucy) Tian, we showed that ancestry-aware integration of tissue-specific genomic annotations enhances the transferability of polygenic scores (PGS).
