We also demonstrate how the diverse ancestries of participants in the UK Biobank allows both the detection of novel associations and the refinement of genomic location of association signals.

Large-scale plasma proteomics comparisons through genetics and disease associations - Nature Comparisons of phenotypic and genetic association with protein levels from Icelandic and UK Biobank cohorts show that using multiple analysis platforms and stratifying populations by ancestry improves...

Our comparison of two high-throughput plasma proteomics platforms is out today in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

By associating protein levels with diseases and genetic variants we demonstrate how differences between platforms can affect the conclusions drawn from experiments.
