About this position

Background What if we could resolve the epigenome of individual cell types from complex human tissues without ever having to physically separate the cells? The majority of disease-associated genetic variants exert their effects by modulating gene expression, driving considerable interest in profiling epigenomic variation at scale. Epigenomic patterns, chemical modifications to DNA and chromatin that controls which genes are active, are highly cell-type specific. When studying epigenetics, the tissue choice strongly influences the findings. A critical limitation of existing studies is that bulk
