Abstract excerpt
Only one-third of immune-associated genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci colocalize with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), leaving most mechanisms unresolved. To address this, we created a unified single-cell chromatin accessibility (scATAC) map of ∼280,000 peripheral immune cells from 48 individuals, including 20 COVID-19 patients. Topic modeling of scATAC data identified continuous cell states...
