## In brief

- Study presents SheepGTEx, a multi-tissue atlas of genetic regulatory variants in sheep.
- The atlas is derived from 6,761 samples across 51 tissues.
- Published in Nature Genetics on 9 November 2026 (doi:10.1038/s41588-026-02825-2).

## Why it matters

The atlas maps how genetic variants regulate gene expression across many sheep tissues, offering a resource for studying complex traits and population genetics in livestock.
