Early single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) studies suggested that it was unusual to see more than one isoform being produced from a gene in single cell, even when multiple isoforms were detected matched bulk samples. However, these generally did not consider the impact of dropouts or quantification errors, potentially confounding results analyses.
Abstract Gene enhancers often form long-range contacts with promoters, but it remains unclear if the activity of and their chromosomal are mediated by same DNA sequences recruited factors. Here, we study effects expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) on enhancer promoter in primary monocytes isolated from 34 male individuals. Using eQTL-Capture Hi-C a Bayesian approach considering both intra- inter-individual variation, initially detect 19 eQTLs associated enhancer-eGene contacts, most...

Abstract Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are rare tissue-resident “helper” lymphocytes that do not express diversified antigen receptors. Type 3 ILCs (ILC3s) an important class of these enriched in the respiratory and intestinal mucosa, where they regulate inflammation mucosal homeostasis. To gain insight into cis-regulatory circuitries underlying ILC3 function, we used high-resolution Capture Hi-C to profile promoter-anchored chromosomal contacts human primary ILC3s. Combining significant...
