GEMS (GWAS Effect Mechanisms via Sequence-to-Function): Unveiling cell type-specific mechanisms for GWAS variants
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have linked thousands of loci to common diseases, yet for non-coding variants, which constitute the vast majority of the signal, the cell types and states through which individual risk variants act remain largely unknown. Here, we develop GEMS (GWAS Effect Mechanisms via Sequence-to-Function), a framework that trains supervised classifiers on multimodal…
