Incredibly proud to share that I recently joined @UCSF_BTS @UCSF as an Assistant Professor! This means that the Calderon Lab is now open! Or, more accurately, in the process of opening as I am still unboxing equipment and unraveling giant posters (a last @JSHendure lab gift) 🥳

1/ Our new paper is out in @CellGenomics 🎉 We introduce FastGxC, a fast and powerful method for mapping eQTLs in bulk and single cell sequencing studies and quantifying how their effects vary across tissues and cell types. cell.com/cell-genomics/fullt…

FastGxC: Fast and powerful context-specific eQTL mapping in bulk and single-cell data

Krockenberger, Lu, et al. introduce FastGxC, a method that identifies how genetic variants regulate gene activity in specific tissues and cell types more efficiently than existing approaches. Applied...

Pregnancy loss is common in humans, and chromosome abnormalities are the leading cause. Using genetic data from ~140,000 IVF embryos, we show that common variation in meiosis genes influences recombination and aneuploidy risk. @saracarioscia @aabiddanda nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Common variation in meiosis genes shapes human recombination and aneuploidy

Nature - Analysis of data from pre-implantation genetic testing sheds light on the genetic basis of meiotic-origin aneuploidy, the leading cause of human pregnancy loss, identifying common genetic...

First preprint from the lab 🚨 How can enhancers regulate target promoters across vast genomic distances, and what is the role of cohesin loop extrusion in the process? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1)

Synergy between cis-regulatory elements can render cohesin dispensable for distal enhancer function

Enhancers are critical genetic elements controlling transcription from promoters, but the mechanisms by which they convey regulatory information across large genomic distances remain elusive. Here,...
