Genome-wide allele-specific expression in multi-tissue samples from healthy male baboons reveals the transcriptional complexity of mammals.
Article in Cell genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Allele-specific expression (ASE) is pivotal in understanding the genetic underpinnings of phenotypic variation within species, differences in disease susceptibility, and responses to environmental factors. We processed 11 different tissue types collected from 12 age-matched healthy olive baboons (Papio anubis) for genome-wide ASE analysis. By sequencing their genomes at a minimum depth of 30×, we identified over 16 million single-nucleotide variants (SNVs). We also generated long-read sequencing data, enabling the phasing of all variants present within the coding regions of 96.5% of assayable protein-coding genes as a single haplotype block. Given the extensive heterozygosity of baboons relative to humans, we could quantify ASE across 72% of the total annotated protein-coding gene set. We identified genes that exhibit ASE and affect specific tissues and genotypes. We discovered ASE SNVs that also exist in human populations with identical alleles and that are designated as pathogenic by both the PrimateAI-3D and AlphaMissense models.
