Checkout the accompanying starnet.mssm.edu site, which we developed to interactively visualize and query the published data and models. Does gene set enrichment analysis for STARNET co-expression network modules along with eQTL fine-mapping of SNPs.
A study in @NatureCVR applies interactive system analyses to infer and characterize gene-regulatory networks active within and across tissues that cause cardiometabolic disease and coronary artery disease. go.nature.com/3A1Y4xq
Research| Sukhavasi et al. reveal sex-specific differences in carotid stenosis. Deep single-cell sequencing shows distinct phenotypes in smooth muscle cells: osteogenic in females and chondrocytic in males, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.
By combining single-cell atlases across the human gastrointestinal tract we discovered a population of inflammatory epithelial cells due to disease-associated metaplasia in the gut @nature @humancellatlas nature.com/articles/s4158…

I'm happy to share my latest research interpreting the genetics of cardiovascular disease using transcriptomic network modeling. Based on multitissue human RNA-seq samples, we identified adipose endocrines affecting liver-mediated metabolic dysfunction. nature.com/articles/s4416…

We've been looking at Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) heritability through multi-tissue gene co-expression, estimating a bound for which gene networks can be expected to account for CAD heritability.
#JACC study investigates the heritability contributions of single nucleotide polymorphisms affecting gene expression in gene regulatory networks causally linked to #cvCAD. fal.cn/s4BH
