Abstract excerpt
Non-coding variants discovered by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are enriched in regulatory elements harboring transcription factor (TF) binding motifs, strongly suggesting a connection between disease association and the disruption of cis-regulatory sequences. Occupancy of a TF inside a region of open chromatin can be detected in ATAC-seq where bound TFs block the transposase Tn5, leaving a pattern of...
