Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of significant hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. What key cellular functions link genetic variation to disease?
I'm very excited to present our new work combining associations and Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs! A 🧵

scPrediXcan integrates advances in deep learning and single-cell data into a powerful cell-type–specific transcriptome-wide association study framework
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) help identify disease causing genes, but often fail to pinpoint disease mechanisms at the cellular level because of the limited sample sizes and sparsity ...
