Why it matters in GWAS¶
Resources like scPerturb accelerate in silico perturbation methods and meta-analyses that relate genetic interventions to transcriptional programs, offering a shared ground truth when comparing predicted vs measured effects of GWAS candidate genes.
Example usage¶
"We fine-tuned a perturbation predictor on scPerturb-compiled CRISPR screens before scoring genes at the autoimmune locus."
