However, the functional characterization of these QTLs has been limited by the heterogeneous cellular composition of GTEx tissue samples. We mapped interactions between computational estimates of cell type abundance and genotype to identify cell type-interaction QTLs for seven cell types and show that cell type-interaction expression QTLs (eQTLs) provide finer resolution to tissue specificity than bulk tissue cis-eQTLs. Analyses of genetic associations with 87 complex traits show a contribution from cell type-interaction QTLs and enables the discovery of hundreds of previously unidentified colocalized loci that are masked in bulk tissue.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6509</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32913075?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demanelis, Kathryn</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jasmine, Farzana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chen, Lin S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chernoff, Meytal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tong, Lin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delgado, Dayana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Chenan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shinkle, Justin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sabarinathan, Mekala</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lin, Hannah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramirez, Eduardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliva, Meritxell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim-Hellmuth, Sarah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stranger, Barbara E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lai, Tsung-Po</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aviv, Abraham</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ardlie, Kristin G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aguet, François</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahsan, Habibul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Doherty, Jennifer A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kibriya, Muhammad G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierce, Brandon L</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GTEx Consortium</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Determinants of telomere length across human tissues.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Science</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Science</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aging</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Markers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Variation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organ Specificity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Telomere</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Telomere Homeostasis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Telomere Shortening</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020 09 11</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">369</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Telomere shortening is a hallmark of aging. Telomere length (TL) in blood cells has been studied extensively as a biomarker of human aging and disease; however, little is known regarding variability in TL in nonblood, disease-relevant tissue types. Here, we characterize variability in TLs from 6391 tissue samples, representing &gt;20 tissue types and 952 individuals from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. We describe differences across tissue types, positive correlation among tissue types, and associations with age and ancestry. We show that genetic variation affects TL in multiple tissue types and that TL may mediate the effect of age on gene expression. Our results provide the foundational knowledge regarding TL in healthy tissues that is needed to interpret epidemiological studies of TL and human health.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6509</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32913074?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GTEx Consortium</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The GTEx Consortium atlas of genetic regulatory effects across human tissues.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Science</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Science</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Datasets as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome-Wide Association Study</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organ Specificity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quantitative Trait Loci</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, RNA</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020 09 11</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">369</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1318-1330</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project was established to characterize genetic effects on the transcriptome across human tissues and to link these regulatory mechanisms to trait and disease associations. Here, we present analyses of the version 8 data, examining 15,201 RNA-sequencing samples from 49 tissues of 838 postmortem donors. We comprehensively characterize genetic associations for gene expression and splicing in cis and trans, showing that regulatory associations are found for almost all genes, and describe the underlying molecular mechanisms and their contribution to allelic heterogeneity and pleiotropy of complex traits.

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences remain largely unknown. We generated a catalog of sex differences in gene expression and in the genetic regulation of gene expression across 44 human tissue sources surveyed by the Genotype-Tissue Expression project (GTEx, v8 release). We demonstrate that sex influences gene expression levels and cellular composition of tissue samples across the human body. A total of 37% of all genes exhibit sex-biased expression in at least one tissue. We identify cis expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) with sex-differentiated effects and characterize their cellular origin. By integrating sex-biased eQTLs with genome-wide association study data, we identify 58 gene-trait associations that are driven by genetic regulation of gene expression in a single sex. These findings provide an extensive characterization of sex differences in the human transcriptome and its genetic regulation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

phenotypic impact is a major challenge. Measuring aberrant gene expression has aided in identifying functional, large-effect rare variants (RVs). Here, we expanded detection of genetically driven transcriptome abnormalities by analyzing gene expression, allele-specific expression, and alternative splicing from multitissue RNA-sequencing data, and demonstrate that each signal informs unique classes of RVs. We developed Watershed, a probabilistic model that integrates multiple genomic and transcriptomic signals to predict variant function, validated these predictions in additional cohorts and through experimental assays, and used them to assess RVs in the UK Biobank, the Million Veterans Program, and the Jackson Heart Study. Our results link thousands of RVs to diverse molecular effects and provide evidence to associate RVs affecting the transcriptome with human traits.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6509</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32913073?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castel, Stephane E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aguet, François</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mohammadi, Pejman</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ardlie, Kristin G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lappalainen, Tuuli</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GTEx Consortium</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A vast resource of allelic expression data spanning human tissues.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome Biol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020 09 11</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">234</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Allele expression (AE) analysis robustly measures cis-regulatory effects. Here, we present and demonstrate the utility of a vast AE resource generated from the GTEx v8 release, containing 15,253 samples spanning 54 human tissues for a total of 431 million measurements of AE at the SNP level and 153 million measurements at the haplotype level. In addition, we develop an extension of our tool phASER that allows effect sizes of cis-regulatory variants to be estimated using haplotype-level AE data. This AE resource is the largest to date, and we are able to make haplotype-level data publicly available. We anticipate that the availability of this resource will enable future studies of regulatory variation across human tissues.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

is essential for identifying the cellular mechanisms that underlie human genetic traits and diseases. The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project aims to characterize variation in gene expression levels across individuals and diverse tissues of the human body, many of which are not easily accessible. Here we describe genetic effects on gene expression levels across 44 human tissues. We find that local genetic variation affects gene expression levels for the majority of genes, and we further identify inter-chromosomal genetic effects for 93 genes and 112 loci. On the basis of the identified genetic effects, we characterize patterns of tissue specificity, compare local and distal effects, and evaluate the functional properties of the genetic effects. We also demonstrate that multi-tissue, multi-individual data can be used to identify genes and pathways affected by human disease-associated variation, enabling a mechanistic interpretation of gene regulation and the genetic basis of disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7675</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29022597?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiang, Colby</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scott, Alexandra J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davis, Joe R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tsang, Emily K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Li, Xin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, Yungil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hadzic, Tarik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Damani, Farhan N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganel, Liron</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montgomery, Stephen B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Battle, Alexis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conrad, Donald F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hall, Ira M</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GTEx Consortium</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The impact of structural variation on human gene expression.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Genet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Algorithms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosome Mapping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Variation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome-Wide Association Study</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INDEL Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Linear Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quantitative Trait Loci</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">49</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">692-699</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Structural variants (SVs) are an important source of human genetic diversity, but their contribution to traits, disease and gene regulation remains unclear. We mapped cis expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in 13 tissues via joint analysis of SVs, single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and short insertion/deletion (indel) variants from deep whole-genome sequencing (WGS). We estimated that SVs are causal at 3.5-6.8% of eQTLs-a substantially higher fraction than prior estimates-and that expression-altering SVs have larger effect sizes than do SNVs and indels. We identified 789 putative causal SVs predicted to directly alter gene expression: most (88.3%) were noncoding variants enriched at enhancers and other regulatory elements, and 52 were linked to genome-wide association study loci. We observed a notable abundance of rare high-impact SVs associated with aberrant expression of nearby genes. These results suggest that comprehensive WGS-based SV analyses will increase the power of common- and rare-variant association studies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28369037?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
