A single-nucleus multi-omic atlas of gene regulation across 21 adult human tissues

Diverse human cell types establish specialized functions through lineage- and context-specific regulatory programs. Interpreting non-coding genetic risk requires integrated multi-omic reference maps that directly connect regulatory DNA to cellular expression across human tissues. Here we present a single-nucleus multi-...

Human genetics implicates a BACH2-NRF2 axis in fetal haemoglobin activation.

Human genetic studies have identified key regulators of fetal haemoglobin (HbF) expression, including BCL11A, resulting in therapeutic advances1-8. Yet the mechanisms by which HbF expression is activated remain incompletely understood9. Here we conduct a large multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of HbF levels...

Cross-cohort analysis of expression and splicing quantitative trait loci in TOPMed.

This work fine-mapped UK Biobank-derived genome-wide association study (GWAS) signals from 164 traits and identified e/sQTL colocalizations for 10,611 GWAS signals, including 7096 that colocalize with secondary e/sQTLs.
