Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in regulatory DNA regions are believed to play an important role in determining phenotype, including disease, and in providing raw material for evolution. We devised a new pipeline for the systematic identification of functional variation in human regulatory sequences. The algorithm is based on the identification of SNPs leading to significant changes in both the affinity of a regulatory region for...
