 ● Determine the relative variability of molecular phenotypes.
 ● Compare covariation networks across molecular phenotypes.
 ● Determine if genes/proteins with loss of function mutations are expressed. E.g. examine regulatory features, mRNA levels, proteins levels.
 ● Map QTLs for each molecular phenotype to determine where most functional genetic variation resides.
 ● Construct integrative regulatory networks using ‘systems genomics’ approaches.
 ● Connect regions of allele-specific chromatin accessibility, allele-specific methylation and allele-specific gene expression.
 ● Integrated analysis of patterns of X-inactivation.
 ● Quantify tissue-specific levels of somatic mutations and their relationship to heterogeneity in gene expression levels
 ● Associate levels of methylation and expression at telomere maintenance genes (e.g., TERC, TERT, DKC1) with telomere length measurements.
 ● Multi-omics enrichments of trait-associated variation.
 ● Support holistic predictive modeling across molecular phenotypes.
