Genetic variation in histone modifications and gene expression identifies regulatory variants in the mammary gland of cattle.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Causal variants for complex traits, such as eQTL are often found in non-coding regions of the genome, where they are hypothesised to influence phenotypes by regulating gene expression. Many regulatory regions are marked by histone modifications, which can be assayed by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq). Sequence reads from ChIP-seq form peaks at putative regulatory...
