FORGE: A tool to discover cell specific enrichments of GWAS associated SNPs in regulatory regions
2014-12-20
Abstract excerpt
Genome wide association studies provide an unbiased discovery mechanism for numerous human diseases. However, a frustration in the analysis of GWAS is that the majority of variants discovered do not directly alter protein-coding genes. We have developed a simple analysis approach that detects the tissue-specific regulatory component of a set of GWAS SNPs by identifying enrichment of overlap with DNase I hotspots f...
