Abstract: Disease-associated variants lie primarily in non-coding =
regions, increasing the urgency of understanding how gene-regulatory =
circuitry impacts human disease. To address this challenge, we generate =
comparative genomics, epigenomic, and transcriptional maps, spanning 823 =
human tissues, 1500 individuals, and 20 million single cells. We link =
variants to target genes, upstream regulators, cell types of action, and =
perturbed pathways, and predict causal genes and regions to provide =
unbiased views of disease mechanisms, sometimes re-shaping our =
understanding. We find that Alzheimer=E2=80=99s variants act primarily =
through immune processes, rather than neuronal processes, and the =
strongest genetic association with obesity acts via energy =
storage/dissipation rather than appetite/exercise decisions. We combine =
single-cell profiles, tissue-level variation, and genetic variation =
across healthy and diseased individuals to map genetic effects into =
epigenomic, transcriptional, and function changes at single-cell =
resolution, to recognize cell-type-specific disease-associated somatic =
mutations indicative of mosaicism, and to recognize multi-tissue =
single-cell effects of exercise and obesity. We expand these methods to =
electronic health records to recognize multi-phenotype effects of =
genetics, environment, and disease, combining clinical notes, lab tests, =
and diverse data modalities despite missing data. We integrate large =
cohorts to factorize phenotype-genotype correlations to reveal distinct =
biological contributors of complex diseases and traits, to partition =
disease complexity, and to stratify patients for pathway-matched =
treatments. Lastly, we develop massively-parallel, programmable and =
modular technologies for manipulating these pathways by high-throughput =
reporter assays, genome editing, and gene targeting in human cells and =
mice, to propose new therapeutic hypotheses in Alzheimer=E2=80=99s, =
obesity, and cancer. These results provide a roadmap for translating =
genetic findings into mechanistic insights and ultimately new =
therapeutic avenues for complex disease and cancer.=20

Bio: Manolis Kellis is a professor of computer science at MIT, a member =
of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, a principal investigator of =
the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT, and head of =
the MIT Computational Biology Group (compbio.mit.edu). His research =
includes disease circuitry, genetics, genomics, epigenomics, coding =
genes, non-coding RNAs, regulatory genomics, and comparative genomics, =
applied to Alzheimer's Disease, Obesity, Schizophrenia, Cardiac =
Disorders, Cancer, and Immune Disorders, and multiple other disorders. =
He has led several large-scale genomics projects, including the Roadmap =
Epigenomics project, the ENCODE project, the Genotype Tissue-Expression =
(GTEx) project, and comparative genomics projects in mammals, flies, and =
yeasts. He received the US Presidential Early Career Award in Science =
and Engineering (PECASE) by US President Barack Obama, the Mendel Medal =
for Outstanding Achievements in Science, the NSF CAREER award, the =
Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, the Technology Review TR35 recognition, the =
AIT Niki Award, and the Sprowls award for the best Ph.D. thesis in =
computer science at MIT. He has authored over 240 journal publications =
cited more than 120,000 times. He has obtained more than 20 multi-year =
grants from the NIH, and his trainees hold faculty positions at =
Stanford, Harvard, CMU, McGill, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and other top =
universities. He lived in Greece and France before moving to the US, and =
he studied and conducted research at MIT, the Xerox Palo Alto Research =
Center, and the Cold Spring Harbor Lab. For more info, see:  =
