Single-nucleus cross-tissue molecular reference maps toward understanding disease gene function
Understanding gene function and regulation in homeostasis and disease requires
knowledge of the cellular and tissue contexts in which genes are expressed. Here, we …

Epigenomic and transcriptomic analyses define core cell types, genes and targetable mechanisms for kidney disease
More than 800 million people suffer from kidney disease, yet the mechanism of kidney
dysfunction is poorly understood. In the present study, we define the genetic association with …

Combining SNP-to-gene linking strategies to identify disease genes and assess disease omnigenicity
Disease-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generally do not implicate
target genes, as most disease SNPs are regulatory. Many SNP-to-gene (S2G) linking …
