Abstract Identifying transcriptional enhancers and their target genes is essential for understanding gene regulation and the effect of human genetic variation on disease1,2,3,4,5,6. Here we create and evaluate a resource of more than 92 million enhancer–gene regulatory interactions across 1,458 biosamples covering 369 cell types and tissues, by integrating predictive models, chromatin states, three-dimensional contacts and large-scale genetic perturbations generated by the ENCODE Consortium7.

Abstract High-throughput screening of protein domains enables the systematic discovery of protein sequences that encode specific cellular functions. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting-based assays have long been the standard readout for such screens but remain time- and resource-intensive, imposing practical limits on library size and coverage.

Abstract Chemoattractants generate strong chemotactic and cytotoxic responses in immune cells by activating cognate receptors. Cell surface receptor levels control sensitivity, which is critical for achieving effective responses without excessive inflammation. The surface levels of the attractant receptor FPR1 are controlled through a balance of delivery and removal, which responds to receptor activation and other stimuli.
