Most genetic variants that confer risk of complex immune-mediated diseases (IMD) affect gene regulation in specific cell types. Their target genes and focus cell types are often unknown, partially bec...

Abstract submission for ASHG 2025. We encourage you to submit your latest research on human genetics and genomics for programming at the ASHG 2025 Annual Meeting.

Missing regulatory effects of asthma genetic risks might be hidden within specific cell states. In this issue of Cell Genomics, Djeddi et al. uncover how airway epithelial cells, when activated by rhi...

Linking non-coding genetic variants from association studies to their causal target genes is an important challenge in human genetics. We evaluate three colocalisation and three Mendelian randomisatio...

Djeddi, Fernandez-Salinas, and colleagues gained new mechanistic insights into asthma by integrating genome-wide association study data with transcriptomic datasets of airway epithelial cells subject ...

Join our team and contribute to the development of complete, personalized “telomere-to-telomere” (T2T) genome assemblies and the analysis of previously inaccessible regions of the genome! We are curre...
