There are some of the new functionalities and data coming up in future releases of Open Targets Genetics:
Tissue/SNP enrichment across diseases and traits (CHEERS method)
Mendelian Randomisation (6 proteomic summary stat data)
Tissue/trait-specific ‘Locus to Gene’ score
Therapeutic-area specific profiles (e.g. only include functional data relevant to immune-related disease in variant-to-gene assignment/scoring)
PheWAS based on rare variants
In the meantime, the team is working on refactoring Open Targets Genetics pipelines, aiming to:
Re-focusing the product around Target ID
Creating a gold standard toolkit for post-GWAS analysis
Faster/robust addition of new datasets and datatypes
Reducing computational and financial cost
