Thanks to amazing contributions of 52 cohorts we have been able to complete a full genome-wide trans-eQTL analysis in 43,301 blood samples. Many thanks to everyone involved, this has been a huge effort!

We studied non-coding somatic mutations in WGS data of 24,000 cancer patients. We employed sequence-based models to identify promotors, enriched for somatic variants that are predicted to affect expression. A great collaboration with the teams of Emile Voest, Bas van Steensel and Jeroen de Ridder!
