Using chromatin marks to interpret and localize genetic associations to complex human traits and diseases.

Abstract excerpt

While studies to associate genomic variants to complex traits have gradually become increasingly productive, the molecular mechanisms that underlie these associations are rarely understood. Because only a small fraction of trait-associated variants can be linked to coding sequences, investigators have speculated that many of the underlying causal alleles influence non-coding gene regulatory sites. Recent studies...
