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


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 to linking genetic variants with traits.
