Incredibly proud to share our newest work where we developed a multiscale spatial transcriptomic atlas of the human amygdala using three complementary technologies! 1/12 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Multiscale spatial transcriptomics resolves the cellular and molecular architecture of the human...

The amygdala is a central hub for emotional learning that is dysregulated across numerous psychiatric disorders, yet its molecular architecture in humans remains poorly defined. We here present a...

It's a bit of a buzz kill seeing a $500k cancer research donation happen on College Gameday and knowing it's probably going to fund a single 'omic experiment.

This is a massive dataset and the first of it's kind, so I really was only able to scratch the surface of what insights it can provide. I'm excited to see how the community uses this resource, and for future projects in this space! 12/12

CIGMA is out in Nature — A linear mixed model to unbiasedly characterize cell-type-specific eQTLs. Work advised by @andywdahl and a lot of help from @xinpei_w nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Cell-type-specific eQTLs underlie the genetic architecture of complex traits

Nature - Single-cell RNA-sequencing shows that cell-type-specific expression quantitative trait loci drive much of complex trait heritability, highlighting cell-type-specific gene regulation as key...
