Abstract excerpt
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic diseases is challenging due to environmental and genetic factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic loci, but their functional implications are largely unknown. Single-cell multiomics sequencing has emerged as a powerful tool to study disease-specific cell types and their relationship with genetic variants. However,...
