The paper identifies dual-acting regulatory QTLs and gene regulatory networks in immune cells to better understand how genetic variation influences disease susceptibility.

The paper performs a federated cis-eQTL meta-analysis across single-cell datasets to identify cell-type-specific genetic effects and link them to disease mechanisms.

The paper presents CattleGTEx, a resource characterizing regulatory effects in cattle, resolving GWAS signals and providing insights into adaptive evolution and selection.

The paper identifies sex-specific genetic regulatory effects in chickens using whole-genome sequencing and transcriptomes, revealing sex-dependent gene regulation and structural variants.

The paper maps cis- and trans-eQTLs in blood samples to infer gene regulatory networks and prioritize trait-relevant pathways.

The paper identifies highly cell-type-specific eQTLs using snRNA-seq data from brain and blood, showing that bulk analyses overestimate eQTL agreement.

The paper identifies co-eQTLs that alter gene co-expression relationships in specific cell types, linking these variants to immune disease associations.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze immune aging in 982 donors, revealing sex-specific changes in immune cell composition and function during aging.

The paper integrates single-cell gene expression and circulatory protein data to identify genetic regulators of inflammation in response to Candida albicans.

The paper identifies co-expression QTLs (co-eQTLs) using single-cell RNA-seq data, revealing how genetic variants affect gene co-expression patterns and regulatory networks in specific cell types.

The paper uses blood eQTL meta-analysis to explore the polygenic architecture of complex traits, finding that trans-eQTLs are more informative for identifying causal genes than cis-eQTLs.

The paper uses single-cell RNA-sequencing to show that gene expression in immune cells is influenced by genetic variation and pathogen exposure, revealing context-specific regulatory mechanisms.

The paper introduces Decon2, a method to deconvolute bulk blood eQTL effects into immune cell subpopulations, showing high concordance with experimental and single-cell studies.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify cell-type specific cis-eQTLs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and validates them against whole blood RNA-seq data.
