Abstract excerpt
Genetics is a major determinant of susceptibility to autoimmune disorders. Here, we examined whether genome organization provides resilience or susceptibility to sequence variations, and how this would contribute to the molecular etiology of an autoimmune disease. We generated high-resolution maps of linear and 3D genome organization in thymocytes of NOD mice, a model of type 1 diabetes (T1D), and the...
