anshulkundaje · x · 2026-11-01
A team building single-cell eQTL resources across human tissues has added skeletal muscle, using snRNA-seq and snATAC-seq data from 287 individuals. The resource catalogs cell-type eGenes — Type 1 muscle fibers lead with 3,443 eGenes, Type 2a with 1,841 — offering a tissue-specific gene regulation reference for muscle genetics research.
