MainDefining the precise cellular contexts in which risk-associated variants affect cellular processes will help to better understand the molecular mechanisms of disease risks and to inform therapeutic strategies. This is important because recent studies have shown that many genetic variants affect tissue traits in a cell-type-specific manner1,2. Traditional bulk RNA analysis is usually biased toward
