Single nucleus multi-omics regulatory atlas of the murine pituitary
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The pituitary regulates growth, reproduction and other endocrine systems. To investigate transcriptional network epigenetic mechanisms, we generated paired single nucleus (sn) transcriptome and chromatin accessibility profiles in single mouse pituitaries and genome-wide sn methylation datasets. Our analysis provided insight into cell type epigenetics, regulatory circuit and gene control mechanisms. Latent variable pathway analysis detected corresponding transcriptome and chromatin accessibility programs showing both inter-sexual and inter-individual variation. Multi-omics analysis of gene regulatory networks identified cell type-specific regulons whose composition and function were shaped by the promoter accessibility state of target genes. Co-accessibility analysis comprehensively identified putative cis-regulatory regions, including a domain 17kb upstream of Fshb that overlapped the fertility-linked rs11031006 human polymorphism. In vitro CRISPR-deletion at this locus increased Fshb levels, supporting this domain’s inferred regulatory role. The sn pituitary multi-omics atlas (snpituitaryatlas.princeton.edu) is a public resource for elucidating cell type-specific gene regulatory mechanisms and principles of transcription circuit control.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
