Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified hundreds of genomic loci that are associated with human traits and disease. However, because the majority of the genome-wide significant (GWS) loci fall onto the non-coding genome, the functional impact of many remain unknown. Three-dimensional chromatin interactions identified by Hi-C or its derivatives can provide useful tools to annotate these...
