Deskripsi

T cells are a major cell type involved in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, the authors use promoter capture-C and ATAC-seq in human follicular T helper cells to identify SLE genes distant from GWAS loci (via 3D interaction) and validate the function of key regulatory elements and genes in vitro.
