Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers utilized a fine-mapping approach blending data from a diverse genome-wide association study and expression analysis from different ancestry groups to identify 14 potential causal genes linked to AF.
  • * By silencing a major AF-related gene using CRISPR in heart cells, the study revealed disruptions in pathways crucial for heart tissue and conduction system development.

Epigenomic profiling, including ATACseq, is one of the main tools used to define enhancers. Because enhancers are overwhelmingly cell-type specific, inference of their activity is greatly limited in complex tissues. Multiomic assays that probe in the same nucleus both the open chromatin landscape and gene expression levels enable the study of correlations (links) between these two modalities.
