Tandem repeat variation shapes immune cell type-specific gene expression

Tandem repeat variation shapes immune cell type-specific gene expression

Feed excerpt — reported by Nature

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10438-2Whole-genome sequencing and cell-level gene expression measurements show that length variation in tandem repeats in the human genome contributes to cell type-specific differences in gene regulation and expression, as well as the architecture of complex traits.
