Excited to share our work on single cell eQTL mapping of OneK1K Cohort (1000 individuals 1000 cells) that’s just published in @ScienceMagazine. Thanks to our amazing team @josealquicirah, @WingKristof, @FairfaxKirsten, @MGraceGordon, @yimmieg, @AlexWHewitt and @drjosephpowell!
Our work “Single-cell eQTL mapping identifies cell type-specific genetic control of autoimmune disease” just published in @ScienceMagazine. The work started with the creation of the OneK1K cohort, consisting of scRNA-seq data on PBMCs from ~1000 donors https://t.co/Uzskay7TeM 🧵
