Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of genetic variants that are associated with disease 1 . Most of these variants have small effect sizes, but their downstream expression effects, so-called expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), are often large 2 and celltype-specific3-5. To identify these celltype-specific eQTLs using an unbiased approach, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to...
