Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
With rapid advances in high-throughput sequencing technology, millions of single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) can be simultaneously genotyped in a sequencing study. These SNVs residing in functional genomic regions such as exons may play a crucial role in biological process of the body. In particular, non-synonymous SNVs are closely related to the protein sequence and its function, which are important in understanding the biological mechanism of sequence evolution. Although statistically challenging, models incorporating such SNV annotation information can improve the estimation of genetic effects, and multiple responses may further strengthen the signals of these variants on the assessment of disease risk. In this work, we develop a new weighted empirical Bayes method to integrate SNV annotation information in a multi-trait design. The performance of this proposed model is evaluated in simulation as well as a real sequencing data; thus, the proposed method shows improved prediction accuracy compared to other approaches.
