Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified thousands of loci associated with a variety of common, complex human traits. Recent efforts have focused on characterizing chromatin accessibility to discover regulatory elements that modify the expression of nearby genes, suggesting that trait associations are mediated through changes in gene regulation. Genetic variants associated with differences in...
