Multi-context genetic modeling of transcriptional regulation resolves novel disease loci

Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) often ignore the specificity and sharing of effects across contexts (e.g., tissues). Here, the authors describe a method to split genetic effects into context-shared and context-specific terms. They apply their method to tissue and single-cell RNA-seq an...

description Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) often ignore the specificity and sharing of effects across contexts (e.g., tissues). Here, the authors describe a method to split genetic effects into context-shared and context-specific terms. They apply their method to tissue and single-cell RNA-seq and show improved power in TWAS.
