Abstract excerpt
Openness-weighted association study (OWAS) is a method that leverages the in silico prediction of chromatin accessibility to prioritize genome-wide association studies (GWAS) signals, and can provide novel insights into the roles of non-coding variants in complex diseases. A prerequisite to apply OWAS is to choose a trait-related cell type beforehand. However, for most complex traits, the trait-relevant cell...
