Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered thousands loci associated with disease risk and quantitative traits, yet most of the variants responsible for risk remain uncharacterized. The majority of GWAS-identified loci are enriched for non-coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and defining the molecular mechanism of risk is challenging. Many non-coding causal SNPs are hypothesized to alter...
