Most disease-associated GWAS signals fall in the non-coding genome🧬 Although assumed to influence expression, pinpointing the causal gene isn't easy. Two ways include: 1⃣eQTL mapping in relevant tissues/cells 2⃣in vitro CRISPRi screens This preprint compares the two👇

Zymoseptoria tritici is a widespread wheat pathogen with high genetic variability from both sexual and asexual reproduction, complicating control efforts. Using whole-genome sequencing, @andreatobherre1 et al. found unexpectedly high within-field diversity, including multiple…
