Identifying disease-critical cell types and cellular processes by integrating single-cell RNA-sequencing and human genetics.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies provide a powerful means of identifying loci and genes contributing to disease, but in many cases, the related cell types/states through which genes confer disease risk remain unknown. Deciphering such relationships is important for identifying pathogenic processes and developing therapeutics. In the present study, we introduce sc-linker, a framework for integrating single-cell...
