Modeling memory T cell states at single-cell resolution identifies in vivo state-dependence of eQTLs influencing disease

Author(s): Nathan A, Asgari S, Ishigaki K, Amariuta T, Luo Y, Beynor JI, Baglaenko Y, Suliman S, Price A, Lecca L, Murray MB, Moody DB, Raychaudhuri SJournal: bioRxiv July 2021

Many non-coding genetic variants cause disease by modulating gene expression. However, identifying these expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) is complicated…

Multimodally profiling memory T cells from a tuberculosis cohort identifies cell state associations with demographics, environment and disease.
