Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than a hundred single nucleotide variants (SNV) associated with the risk of gastroesophageal cancer (GEC). The majority of the identified SNVs map to noncoding regions of the genome. Uncovering the causal SNVs and genes they modulate could help improve GEC prevention and treatment. Herein, we used HiChIP against histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac)...
