The paper identifies cis-interacting lncRNAs and their targets using RNA-chromatin and Hi-C data across 18 human cell types.

The paper functionally annotates human long non-coding RNAs by systematically knocking down 285 lncRNAs and analyzing molecular phenotypes using CAGE sequencing.

The paper presents FC-R2, an expanded transcriptome atlas of over 109,000 genes, including lncRNAs, and demonstrates its utility in analyzing gene expression across normal and diseased human samples.

The paper identifies shared expression patterns of genetic variants across tissues and cell types, enabling fine mapping of disease-associated variants and revealing key cell types involved in disease pathogenesis.
