Integrating high-content genotyping approaches such as single-cell RNA sequencing and advanced learning methods such as language models offers an opportunity for dissecting this complex relationship. Here we present a computational integrated genetics framework designed to analyze and interpret the high-dimensional landscape of genotypes and their associated phenotypes simultaneously. We applied this approach to develop a multimodal foundation model to explore the genotype-phenotype relationship manifold for human transcriptomics at the cellular level. Analyzing this joint manifold showed a refined resolution of cellular heterogeneity, uncovered potential cross-tissue biomarkers and provided contextualized embeddings to investigate the polyfunctionality of genes shown for the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene in endothelial cells. Overall, this study advances our understanding of the dynamic interplay between gene expression and phenotypic manifestation and demonstrates the potential of integrated genetics in uncovering new dimensions of cellular function and complexity.</p>","PeriodicalId":74246,"journal":{"name":"Nature computational science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143061684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
