Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)

Definition
AI-generated

Profiling transcripts in individual cells capturing heterogeneity, trajectories, and cell-type programs—often merged with GWAS loci via eQTL and single-cell eQTL frameworks.

Why it matters in GWAS

Bioinformatics methods determine how variants, expression, and epigenetic state are measured and summarized—shaping GWAS covariates, multi-omic integration, and functional follow-up.

Example usage

"Quality-controlled Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data were used to prioritize robust loci and downstream functional follow-up."
