To identify TF-cytokine pairs correlated in expression, we integrated a published resource of 2,260 empirically tested TF-cytokine gene interactions (CytReg v2) (Santoso et al., 2020) with publicly available scRNA-seq data of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells from nine COVID-19 patients (GSE145926) (Liao et al., 2020) and four healthy controls (GSE145926 and GSE128033) (Morse et al., 2019; Liao et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene TF and COVID-19.
