CellRegMap: A statistical framework for mapping context-specific regulatory variants using scRNA-seq

CellRegMap

Cellular Regulatory Map (CellRegMap) is a linear mixed model approach to perform multi-context eQTL mapping by leveraging single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. It is related to the previously proposed StructLMM but importantly it can account for sample structure, including population structure and repeated observations for the same samples, e.g., multiple cells for the same donor.

The CellRegMap model and its applications to both real and simulated data are described in the CellRegMap manuscript.
