It's out! I hope this work encourages folks to move beyond a standard "one variant, one gene" QTL paradigm and consider proxitropic variant effects. Big thanks to the reviewers and editors at @ajhgnews.bsky.social for their help! @sbmontgom.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share my first PhD paper in the @sbmontgom.bsky.social lab with @tamigj.bsky.social (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)! Standard QTL methods treat each gene independently. But what if a single variant regulates multiple nearby genes at once - what we call “allelic proxitropy”? 🧵 ⬇️
