Excited to share our new #method, scDRS, for associating **individual cells** to disease by integrating #scRNA-seq + #GWAS, providing #polygenic disease risk enrichment beyond tissues or cell types.

scDRS assesses excess expression of a set of putative disease genes constructed from GWAS, using an appropriately matched empirical null distribution to compute p-values. (2/n) 
We applied scDRS to GWAS from 74 diseases and complex traits (average N=341K) in conjunction with 16 scRNA-seq data sets spanning 1.3 million cells from 31 tissues and organs, including the amazing Tabula Muris Senis mouse atlas and Tabula Sapiens human atlas @czbiohub. (3/n)
OK, looks like Democracy is safe for now, and the push for reform is making headway. There's a long road ahead, but I'll take a brief timeout to report from @NYASciences's #Phenotypic2020 virtual conference.
First keynote was @OlgaTroyanskaya, presenting a range of tools for understanding #NonCoding genomic variants: DeepSEA, ExPecto, Fenrir...
Emphasizes that #ComplexDisease relies on networks and complex changes like #Aging, so we have to stop looking for 1->1 causal maps. Agree!

Andrea Califano from @columbiacancer using combination of #HTS and #SingleCell Plate-Seq to look for cancer master regulators. VIPER identifies proteins whose regulatory effect impacts genes that distinguish cell states. Now running phase 1 trial!
@my_helix @uk_biobank @my_helix took a look at 1,317 @uk_biobank phenotypes w/ 50,000 exomes released last week. Going beyond #GWAS, used gene-based collapsing analysis. Thanks @bmneale Pheasant pipeline for clean phenotypes, @hailgenetics for the tooling.
@my_helix @uk_biobank @bmneale @hailgenetics Found some stuff that we expected, #LDLR for #cholesterol, #MC1R for red hair; but counts too small for other known conditions like HBOC/#BRCA2 @ATorkmani @RobertCGreen @atulbutte @gabecasis
@my_helix @uk_biobank @bmneale @hailgenetics @atorkmani @RobertCGreen @atulbutte @gabecasis Some interesting findings: #GP1BB associated with mean platelet volume. #GP1BB variants have been implicated in bleeding and platelet disorders.
