🧬Autoimmunity research dropped! We gave T cells a DNA map and found genes (like FDFT1) causing trouble. Half the targets are shared—these diseases are coordinated! Validate new drug target: squalene synthase. Thanks, team! My lymphocytes salute you. #Immunology

Congratulations to @khanhtrang.bsky.social. Delighted to contribute to this V2G across ~60 cell types & 15 autoimmune GWAS reports. @chopresearch.bsky.social @penngenetics.bsky.social

Khanh Trang in our @elife.bsky.social paper integrates 3D genomic maps for >50 diverse cell types with pediatric obesity GWAS. Findings implicate a role for pancreatic islet cell types. Our #V2G mapping nominates effector genes. @penngenetics.bsky.social
