Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic loci associated with complex diseases or traits. However, the exact biological functions of these loci are largely unknown. Recent functional annotation indicates that the majority of disease/trait associated loci are concentrated in regulatory DNA of human genome. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analyses, chromosome...
