We carried out genome-wide association (GWA) analysis for atopic dermatitis case/control status in 26 individual studies (Supplementary Table 1), comprising a total of 21,399 cases and 95,464 controls. The majority of these studies included individuals of only European ancestry (22 studies, 18,900 cases, 84,166 controls). We also included one study of Japanese individuals (RIKEN, 1,472 cases. 7,966 controls), one study of African American individuals (SAPPHIRE, 422 cases and 844 controls), one study of Latin American individuals (GALA II, 300 cases, 1,592 controls) and one study with individuals of mixed non-European ancestry (Generation R, 305 cases, 896 controls).
Each cohort separately imputed their genetic data to 1000 Genomes Project Phase 1 (the majority to the March 2012 release, Supplementary Table 1) and carried out GWA analysis across all imputed variants. Before meta-analysis we restricted each study to only those variants with minor allele frequency (MAF)>1% and moderate imputation quality score (Rsq>0.3 for variants imputed in MACH and proper info>0.4 for IMPUTE). For some cohorts additional quality control filters were applied (full methods for each study are available in Supplementary Note 1).
Meta-analysis was conducted for Europeans only in GWAMA (using fixed effects) and for all ethnicities combined in MANTRA60 . Rather than imposing a fixed or random effects model, MANTRA accounts for the heterogeneity of effects between ethnicities by allowing the studies to cluster according to allele frequency profile (and hence population genetic similarity). To prevent very small European studies (with less precise estimates of the allele frequencies) from having undue weight in our analysis we fixed the Europeans to cluster together by using the European fixed effects results in the MANTRA analysis. Variants with p<5×10−8 in the European analysis were considered to be associated, as were any additional variants with (log10) Bayes Factor (BF)>6.1 (equivalent to p<5×10−8)61 in the MANTRA analysis. Each locus is represented in the results table by the variant with the strongest evidence for association. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic and Cochrane’s Q test. Meta-analysis results were also stratified according to ethnicity, method of case diagnosis and age of onset to explore sources of heterogeneity.
For the Epidermal-differentiation complex region (where the FLG gene is located and which has previously shown complex association results), we repeated the association tests (across the region between 150.2–154.5Mb on chromosome 1) conditioning on the four most common FLG variants (R501X, 2282del4, R2447X, S3247X) in the individual studies where these were available (10 studies, 20,384 individuals, Supplementary Table 12). These were meta-analyzed to identify whether there were any remaining independent association signals in this region.

A set of populations from various crosses, as well as accessions from the apple germplasm, were used to evaluate the Apple 8K Infinium® II array. This set included a ‘Royal Gala’בGranny Smith’ F1 population of 186 seedlings [28] (link), seven controlled F1 crosses that are used as a training population for genomic selection at Plant & Food Research and comprise 1313 individuals [29] , and a set of 117 accessions from the Plant & Food Research germplasm collection (S. Kumar, unpublished). Genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted using the NucleoSpin® Plant II kit (Macherey-Nagel GmbH & Co KG, Düren, Germany), and quantitated using the Quant-iT™ PicoGreen® Assay (Invitrogen). ‘Royal Gala’, ‘Granny Smith’, and ‘Golden Delicious’ were used as controls. Two hundred nanograms of gDNA were used as template for the reaction, following the manufacturer's instructions. SNP genotypes were scored with the Genotyping Module of the GenomeStudio Data Analysis software (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA). Individuals with low SNP call quality (p50GC<0.54), as well as seedlings putatively resulting from an unintended pollination, were removed from the analysis. SNPs with a GenTrain score >0.6 were retained and those with scores ranging between 0.3 and 0.6 were visually checked for accuracy of the SNP calling. Clusters were manually edited when the parent-offspring segregation was not correct, or when the number of missing genotypes was greater than 20.
Two trios with both parents and one seedling were used to test the usefulness of SNP clusters for identifying haplotypes: ‘Royal Gala’בBraeburn’−>‘Scifresh’ and ‘(Royal) Gala’בSplendour’−>‘Sciros’. SNPs were coded using A and B alleles and haplotypes were inferred using FlexQTL™ (www.flexqtl.nl) for each cluster of SNPs.

Peptides F5GWALP23, F4,5GWALP23, Y4GWALP23, and W18GWALP23 (Table 1) were synthesized on a model 433A synthesizer from
Applied Biosystems
by Life Technologies (Foster City, CA) using solid-phase methods,
as described previously.17 (link) Typically, two
deuterated alanines of differing isotope abundances were incorporated
into each synthesized peptide. Peptides were purified as described19 (link),21 (link) using an octyl silica column (Zorbax Rx-C8, 9.4 × 250 mm, 5
μm particle size; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and
a gradient of 97–100% methanol (with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid)
over 28 min. Final peptide purity (>97%) was confirmed by reversed-phase
HPLC, and peptide identity, by mass spectrometry (Figure S1 of the Supporting Information).
Solid-state 2H NMR experiments,
using mechanically aligned
samples, were performed using methods that have been described previously.17 (link) Mechanically aligned samples (1:60, peptide/lipid;
45% hydration, w/w) were prepared using DOPC, DMPC, or DLPC lipid
from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL) and deuterium-depleted water
from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (Andover, MA). Bilayer alignment
within each sample was confirmed using 31P NMR at 50 °C
on a Bruker (Billerica, MA) Avance 300 spectrometer. Deuterium NMR
spectra were recorded at 50 °C using both β = 0° (bilayer
normal parallel to magnetic field) and β = 90° macroscopic
sample orientations on a Bruker Avance 300 spectrometer utilizing
a quadrupolar echo pulse sequence22 with
90 ms recycle delay, 3.2 μs pulse length, and 115 μs echo
delay. Between 0.6 and 1.5 million scans were accumulated during each 2H NMR experiment. An exponential weighting function with 100
Hz line broadening was applied prior to Fourier transformation.
Helix orientations were analyzed by means of a semistatic “GALA”
method based on three adjustable parameters: the average tilt τo of the helix axis, the average azimuthal rotation ρo about the helix axis, and a principal order parameter Szz, as described.7 (link),17 (link) An additional
three-parameter modified Gaussian method is available, based on τo, ρo, a distribution width σρ,
and a fixed στ.16 (link) We also employed
this modified Gaussian method, but στ was fixed at either
15° (DLPC) or 9° (DOPC; see Discussion) instead of the previously assumed value of 0° for στ.
For the analysis of helix rotation, we analyzed some pairwise residue
separation distances using a recently described procedure.23 (link) Distances were compared to hydrophobic thicknesses
of 20.9 Å for DLPC24 (link) and 27.2 Å
for DOPC,25 which are based on the location DC of the Gibbs dividing surface for the hydrocarbon
region of the bilayer.25

Given a set of N variables and a set of M samples representing information on each of the variables, how do we find functional relationships between the variables? MIST tackles the problem by using a divide-and-conquer approach: while considering the set of all variable tuples as the search space, MIST divides that search space among parallel threads, and then conquers it by computing dependency measures for each tuple.
Symmetric Delta (Galas et al, 2020; Galas et al, 2014 (link)) is the measure used in a MIST search. The Symmetric Delta is a novel symmetric measure of functional dependence (it is symmetric under exchange of variables) constructed from joint entropies. Joint entropies between variables (using the Shannon entropy (Shannon and Weaver, 1949 ) defined as the expectation of the logarithm of each element of the joint probability distribution: HX=iPxilogPxi ). For variable tuples of size T there are N choose T tuples in the search space. Thus, the problem is reduced to computing joint probability distributions for a very large number of variable tuples.
Dependence between two variables X and Y can be directly measured with mutual information IX,Y , defined as
IX,Y=HX+HYHX,Y,
where HX and HY are single entropies of variables X and Y and HX,Y is their joint entropy.
A general dependence among three variables, X, Y, and Z, can be measured with symmetric delta. Δ¯X,Y,Z . To see clearly the definition of symmetric delta, we need to introduce interaction information, which is a multivariable generalization of mutual information (McGill, 1954 ), defined for three variables as
IX,Y,Z=IX,YIX,Y|Z.
Given interaction information, differential interaction information Δ is defined as a difference between values of successive interaction information arising from adding a variable:
ΔX=IX,Y,ZIY,Z,ΔY=IX,Y,ZIX,Z,ΔZ=IX,Y,ZIX,Y.
Here ΔX is called asymmetric delta for the target variable X. To detect a fully synergistic dependence among a set of variables, we want a single measure, which is symmetric. Consequently, we defined a general measure Δ¯ , called symmetric delta (or simply delta), by multiplying the Δ 's with all possible choices of the target variable:
Δ¯X,Y,Z=ΔXΔYΔZ.
The critical property of this delta measure is that it is zero whenever any of the three variables is independent of the others. It is important to note that the absolute values of the delta measure indicate the degree to which the corresponding variables are collectively interdependent.
