In this Review, the authors describe the emerging field of single-cell genetics, which lies at the intersection of single-cell genomics and human genetics. They review the first single-cell expression quantitative trait loci studies, which combine single-cell information with genotype data at the population scale and thereby link genetic variation to the cellular processes underpinning key aspects of human biology and disease.
