Integrated QTL mapping and CRISPR screening in pooled iPSC-derived microglia reveals genetic drivers of neurodegenerative risk

Marta Perez‐Alcantara, Sam J. Washer, Yixi Chen…·Andrew Roger Bassett

The paper integrates QTL mapping and CRISPR screening in iPSC-derived microglia to identify genetic drivers of neurodegenerative risk by linking variants to phenotypes and gene expression.

Extensive co-regulation of neighbouring genes complicates the use of eQTLs in target gene prioritisation

Ralf Tambets, Anastassia Kolde, Peep Kolberg…·Kaur Alasoo

The paper benchmarks methods for prioritizing GWAS target genes using eQTLs and finds that assigning pQTLs to closest protein-coding genes outperforms colocalisation methods.
