Abstract
The Chinese Immune Multi-Omics Atlas (CIMA) establishes a population-scale immune multi-omics atlas by profiling over 10 million peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 428 Chinese adults using paired scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq. This resource mitigates longstanding European ancestry bias in single-cell genomics and enables cell type resolved regulatory mapping across immune populations. Building on this atlas, CIMA-CLM integrates chromatin sequence features with single-cell transcriptomic context to predict chromatin accessibility and assess noncoding variant effects, exemplified in FOXP3+ regulatory T cells.
期刊介绍:
The Australasian Society for Immunology Incorporated (ASI) was created by the amalgamation in 1991 of the Australian Society for Immunology, formed in 1970, and the New Zealand Society for Immunology, formed in 1975. The aim of the Society is to encourage and support the discipline of immunology in the Australasian region. It is a broadly based Society, embracing clinical and experimental, cellular and molecular immunology in humans and animals. The Society provides a network for the exchange of information and for collaboration within Australia, New Zealand and overseas. ASI members have been prominent in advancing biological and medical research worldwide. We seek to encourage the study of immunology in Australia and New Zealand and are active in introducing young scientists to the discipline.
