Abstract: | A new study reports the mapping of gene expression in primary immune cell subsets, showing the presence of cell type-specific cis and trans expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). The identification of cell type-specific trans-regulated networks can inform functional studies of susceptibility loci identified from genome-wide association studies for human complex diseases. |
