요약	Single-cell GWAS is an integrative bioinformatics pipeline that maps genome-wide association study (GWAS) signals onto single-cell transcriptomic landscapes to identify which cell types and individual cells carry disproportionate genetic risk for a disease or trait. By leveraging single-cell RNA-seq atlases alongside GWAS summary statistics, it moves beyond tissue-level associations to reveal the precise cellular contexts in which disease-associated genetic variants exert their effects.	Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis characterises gene expression at the resolution of individual cells, enabling discovery of cell types, states, and transitions that are invisible in bulk transcriptomics. Starting from raw sequencing reads, the workflow produces a cell-by-gene count matrix and proceeds through quality control, normalisation, dimensionality reduction, unsupervised clustering, cell-type annotation, and a range of downstream analyses such as trajectory inference and differential expression between cell populations.
