Abstract excerpt
Most of the disease associated genetic variants identified in genome wide association studies have been mapped to the non-coding regions of the genome. One of the leading mechanisms by which these variants are thought to affect disease susceptibility is by altering transcription factor (TF) binding. Even though inbred mouse strains have been commonly used to investigate polygenic diseases, less is known on how...
